Daddy and Diego watch truck shows and Animal Planet. <BR/>I grew up with no cable until I was fourteen and then my dad changed his mind shortly after seeing what was on MTV at the time, which meant we got 6 months of TV bliss. We (my sister and I) thought he was SO unfair! <BR/>But I have read too many negative things about TV watching, especially with boys, that I decided before Diego was born that he would have no TV exposure until after two and even after that, very limited. <BR/>Lucky for him though, he spends three days a week with his Abuelita, who lets him watch cartoons and movies, etc. So he is really not missing out on the TV world. I'm just (apparently) missing out on Saturday morning sleep. : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2213362737974181086.post-54540570788941961072008-05-21T19:14:00.000-07:002008-05-21T19:14:00.000-07:00Every Saturday morning, I STILL click on the ABC, ...Every Saturday morning, I STILL click on the ABC, CBS, and NBC to see what the Sat morning cartoons are......they are not even that many that I would even let the kids watch!
