Before I took over baby-care, I had had a real 'thing' about the TV. I am personally very distracted by the TV if its on. I don't even have to want to watch the program but if its on and within my sight, I pay it far more attention than is suitable.
So I created a rule for myself that I won't put the TV on during the day (unless Emilia's sleeping, I've prepared everything for the next period of awake-ness and even done all the house-work I need). So I would very rarely put the TV on during the day!
I broke that rule today and it took me 15 minutes to change Emilia's nappy! It was Baby
TV so I wasn't exactly struggling to follow the storyline or some clever plot twist but we both fell silent and watched Oliver Discovers. (I can't even remember what he discovered but I was obviously enjoying it!)

New rule: no tv in the morning.
As we're weaning, lunch seems to be a long, messy process involving a lot of food put onto the high chair, then being spread over the clothes worn... and hands... And face... And high chair and I have no idea how much actually being eaten.
So after all that fun, I think 10 minutes of relaxation and watching TV is not so bad.
