Daily coyote

Getting ready for Harry's birthday party on a cold and snowy day, but wanted to post a link to this wonderful blog.

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing. Glad to see you are getting settled in CO, I just discovered your blog after reading a comment on thewildtribe- I am excited to be able to keep up with your delightful family.

I wanted to comment on the TV question you posed there. We recently got cable again after a couple years sans the boob tube. I was surprised by how little it changed G's viewing/ playing habits. She had always liked movies, just like her Daddy, but she has a healthy imagination too. I feared TV wouldn't be the same.

I'm grateful we got the DVR option, it allows her to request what she really wants to watch, not just whatever is on and she chooses shows like Meerkat Manor, Bindi the Jungle Girl, Handy Manny on Disney (she was surprised when a little girl at the park told her that was a "boy show"- she just loves that he fixes things) and Charlie and Lola she's very into since she is going to be a big sister soon, and she thinks Charlie is the best big brother ever. Anyway she also watches some of our favorites like Amazing Race and Survivor and then goes out and creates obstacle courses and challenges in the backyard.

All in all it has worked out well for us- I have to admit, mostly I am the one who has to remind myself to turn it off and read or go to bed!

Anyway that's my 2 cents on the matter. Happiest of Holidays!
