Twins Without Television: Week 2, Day 2

It is now day two of my twins without television and still no questions about, "Can I watch some TV?" They just have not asked about watching that "box", just sitting there in my bedroom or living room. I think because I stopped watching television last June, I have been an example to them that it is not necessary to watch television in order to stay occupied.

There are other things to do besides watching television. Things like read, play games, color, draw, play with dolls. Things like this.

Sure I watched television when I was their age and it is a shame I did. People just become consumed with television and it seems to change our internal thinking. This is especially true when there are so many "brainless" shows being sold to television stations and spit out into the television airways for public consumption.

One thing I am really looking forward to when my twins not watching television is.....learning to be nice to each other. Honestly, I think this is a twin issue, especially when they are this young. They are fighting for  my attention and this becomes a stressor on them and Mommy.

Oh, just keep us in your prayers as my twins continue to NOT watch television and reroute their brains being able to learn good skills, not bad behavior from the television shows they like so much.

TwiceGirlies Finally Asleep

Oh goodness, my twins finally fell asleep. Let's see, today my twins had swim lessons in the afternoon, they came home and bathed, took a very small nap, got up, put on a new bathing suit and went into our plastic pool in our backyard for hours.

Between swimming in our small backyard pool, we ate spaghetti, garlic bread, salad and red grapes. After dinner, my twins went back in the pool until the sun began to go down. As the sun began to hide, I told my twins to get out of the pool and into their PJ's.

Once in their PJ's, I gave them some milk and one TJs cookie (which looks like a Oreo, but much better). Then I turned on my computer, went to the Disney website so my twins could watch their favorite show, Imagination Movers. It seems Disney, in their infinite wisdom, decided to take this show off TV and now it can only be seen online.

My twins watched about four Imagination Movers shows, brushed their teeth and went into their room where Daddy and Mommy prayed for them. Their bedtime was about 9:30 tonight. But, my twins did not stop talking until 11:40.

Oh yeah, my twins have a abundance of energy and talking ability. They are like the Energizer Bunny, twin style!
