Each week our kids are allowed one movie day, and one Wii day. Meaning they watch one movie, not that they watch movies all day. Wii has a tendency to last longer than a movie would, since it has no obvious end. Also, it buys me time. I can get a lot done while the boys are busy sitting still on the couch, and not making messes. So does that mean I use the TV as a babysitter? Only sometimes. And no, not for the whole day.
Sunday is when the kids pick their movie and Wii days for the next week, and since I was busy when the planning was taking place, Wyatt took it upon himself to write it on our weekly planning board. My little unsocialized homeschooler is coming along quite nicely in his writing, wouldn’t you say?
