TV treat


cars still remain Nolan's favorite toy, and lately his favorite way to play with them is at eye level on the coffee table. he will kneel there and push them around sometimes with vigor, but tonight he was just mesmerized by them. i wondered what he was thinking about as he slowly pushed each car along with such a serious expression.


another thing that puts Nolan in a trance is the television. we still do not subscribe to cable and only pull out the little TV for special PBS programming or to check the news to see if i have a snow day.

This post is for Lou:

That looks like one of those TV's from the olden days. I didn't even think they could still pick up electromagnetic signals? I'm surprised the photo doesn't show Nolan standing next to it holding the antenna wearing a tin foil hat!

Several sources confirmed that sitting smack dab in front of the TV does not damage your eyes. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, kids, the usual culprits, can focus up close better than adults, so they often develop the habit of sitting right in front of the television. However, sitting too close to the TV may indicate that your child needs glasses.
