Thou Shall watch cartoons

Despite my best intentions to minimize TV time for my son, I still have to watch some terrible kid shows.  A new favorite is Max and Ruby.  This show is about two bunnies with no parents, one of which is an overbearing older sister and the other is an annoying little brother.  Apparently, the fact that adults dislike shows only makes them more appealing to my son and nieces.  One episode of Max and Ruby that we have on our DVR has the bunnies playing doctor.  Ruby, being a genius older sister bunny says "Having a heartbeat is very important if you want to stay healthy."  While true, I don't really want Luke repeating that pearl of wisdom. I am very grateful for the DVR, so Luke can watch his shows when he is ready to, but it also means that I have seen Max play pirates and ruin Ruby's tea party about 50 times in the past couple weeks. 

While I complain about these terrible shows that my son loves, they do bring me some peace.  I have a child who does not sit still very long.  So I do welcome the times when he wants to spend 25 minutes taking a breather. Before I had a kid I never expected to want to have some time to fold my laundry,but these days it feels like a luxury.  As Luke gets older, I am sure I will be subject to more and more terrible shows, I just hope I can keep him away from SpongeBob for as long as possible.
