Here is a picture of Quinn with her Great Uncle Steve at Pioneer Days. Yes, that's right we go to Southern Oregon every year to pioneer it up with the family. This was Quinn's first time at Pioneer Days and our first time as a family in a hotel...we didn't get a lot of sleep but I did catch up on my late night t.v. with sound off and captions on as we have made it a priority to avoid the t.v. and computer for Quinn until at least 2 years of age. People seem to have fairly strong views about media and children...what does everyone think?

We had that priority too, and pretty much kept to it. Except, of course, web chat with the grandparents, without which they would have gone insane! We loosened up a little as Kiely neared her 2nd birthday, especially as she likes to get up at 6:30 most days--weekends included! A half an hour of Sesame Street (TiVo'd) on Saturday at 6:30 is sometimes a blessing. Have fun at Pioneer Days!
yep i agree on the tv/computer time monitoring, especially at such a young age. general watches tv every once and a while and plays video games (only non-violent of course) limitedly as rewards for good behavior. it's kind of amazing how much they really don't need it but learn to feel like they need it with more exposure! kids still love books, puzzles, games, etc.
