I'll be honest, we try to stick to the two hour rule as well and NEVER any violent shows, just Noggin and DVD (Blues Clues, Max and Ruby and Franklin) BUT I'm a stay at home working Mother and sometimes I have to do what I have to do and I may bend that rule sometimes when I need to... He is a well adjusted little boy who loves to play and run, but does like his TV as well, I'm just glad I am able to use it when I need it. We still do lots of activities together and go the Library at least twice a week and read lots. I think we're doing ok. Don't put too much pressure on the TV thing, its ok, they learn. I learned a lot from Sesame Street and Electric Company- I loved it. Amy
