Operation Turn the tv off!

Patrick is so interested in the tv. If it's on, he's looking at it. And when you're home alone with just a baby what is usually on in the background? The TV. So Saturday I was home alone for a while so I decided to leave it off. Patrick seemed so much calmer and even took an hour and a half nap in the afternoon! Now I realize this could be coincidence, but we've decided to try to leave the tv off a little more. Now we turn it on for the nightly news and the early morning shows and that's about it. I don't know that it has helped the naps this week, but it's nice not to have it constantly blaring at us. It's more fun to play and listen to music anyway:-)

Disclaimer -- We don't just sit in front of the tv when it's on...but it is in our living room where we hang out for a majority of the day!
