I get it…Babies should be roaming the land in their parents pouch. They should get into adventures every day, adapt to their new surroundings and learn from things that aren’t branded Fisher Price. Even more so, the television should never be used as a stimulus. If we take a look at LB’s schedule, you would see a light dose of TV (during shower time mostly) and a medium dose of learning material compliments of Baby Einstein. Poetry, music, sports and movie trivia all assist w/ her development – thanks to Mom, Dad and an IPad. Motor skills are frequently addressed via mat time and dance party – all Mom there.
Here’s the thing though- if LB could talk, she would say with no reserve that her two most favorite things are watching Lux chase the water stream from the garden hose (makes her burst into laughter) and playing hide and seek. Not only the traditional hide and seek when we disappear and reappear in a different spot, but the show called hide and seek. Pretty simple game acted out by two squirrels. One hides and acorn and the other seeks it out…Assisted only by the crowd which claps when the seeking squirrel is nearby. And then comes the magical jingle--- We found the acorn, we found it over here! We found the acorn after looking everywhere. We found it, we found it, so let’s all clap and cheer….dooodle la do doo do do YAHOO! We can make LB laugh on command by singing just a few notes of the song.
We found the acorn and a garden hose. That’s how we spell fun these days.
