TV!

I think it is Aidan who is missing the tv the most. Several times last week I heard him singing plaintively "Maisy, Maisy, Maisy, Maisy's farm" (theme tune from a favourite dvd). One day he sat in one of our lounge chairs and pointed the radio remote at the couch ("Look Mummy! I'm watching tv!"). And when I said we were going around to a friend's house, he asked:"Can we watch M's tv?". When I said that probably not, we would do other things, he stopped, thought and then asked "What kind of tv does M. have?"

But....yesterday (day 13), Brendon hooked up the speakers to our computer and ran some of the children's dvds on it! Talk about entranced! The children were extremely excited and very pleased. Isabelle in particular enjoyed using the mouse to select different options. Both enjoyed playing the games on the Maisy dvd, and printing off a picture.

The exercise was repeated this morning.

I get the feeling that requests for the computer to be turned on are going to be coming fairly frequently!
