couch potatoe

Those of you with a 2nd baby will understand that you will do certain things with the 2nd you never did w/ or for the 1st, so Jeffrey has been introduced to the TV, I tried all sorts of toys but it was the only thing I could find that would give me the 10 -15 min needed to get thomas down for naps. he is now addicted like all good american children and become a couch potatoe, so 3 times a day he gets 15 min of clifford, its also seemed to have the side benefit of becoming less afraid of dogs, not sure why but in the last 6 mo he developed a real fear of dogs, exposure to real ones wasnt working, but this clifford fascination has seemed to have a side benefit of reducing his fear. Okay so I am looking for a little more justification to letting him watch tv, but its also true.
