Two peas....

All the research that you read these days says that kids should watch no tv at all until the age of 2, and that it should be very limited after that. Well. We have decided to go a different direction. Benjamin has learned very early the joys of kicking back on the couch to watch tv. He is working on figuring out the remote next. General consensus is that the boy looks like his mom, but in temperament, he is definitely his father's child, what with the tv watching, and the general easy going mellowness. (Mom is a little more high maintenance and demanding.)Check out the pair of them on the couch. Quite the funny pair. Dad (my dad, not Jammy's dad) - you will have to read extra books and step up the German lessons to counter act all the brain melting garbage he is imbibing from the tv.

I sure come off as a great parent... Learning the remote is a valuable skill Jammy. Someday your Mom will call you up and ask you to explain how to play a DVD.

I know some German!

Ich habe durst. Wo ist das Hofbrauhaus?

Mein Hut hat es drei Ecken. Drei Ecken hat meinen Hut. Wenn ein Hut nicht drei Ecken hat, dann ist es nicht mein Hut.

Some of us TRULY appreciate your parenting influence and that the child takes after you in the laid back-ed-nes, instead of the high maintenance alternative! (Clearly, post intended for the paternal unit....)
