- That sure sounds like Laura as 7 months. We hardly ever have the TV on --
- an hour a week is typical. When Laura was younger she was attracted to the
- TV like a magnet. We were telling everybody how we suddenly understood how
- intoxicating TV was to children, if it has such effect on a 7 month old!
-
- Now that Laura is 14 months, she seems to have very little interest in the
- TV. If we turn it on, she will run up to see what's happening, but it doen't
- really hold her interest for more that a couple minutes. She never could sit
- still for any length of time.
