I’m really glad that we have DVR with DIRECT TV¬, but I am beginning to regret putting The Grinch on it. I put it on there for our two-year-old son a few weeks ago because I thought it would be a good movie to get him and the rest of our family in the holiday spirit. However, I had no idea that our son would want to watch it over and over each day. I have had to limit him to watching it two times per day. I really do not like him watching much TV anyway, but the second the movie is over, he always yells, “Watch it again mommy?” I have thought about deleting it all together from the DVR, but I am afraid that he would have an epic melt down and I decided that I need to pick my battles with him and this is one that is just not worth the fight. It was not until lately that he has gotten into watching TV, but I think he really enjoys it. I have to be careful because it would be so easy to sit him in front of the TV and let him watch it all day so I could get some stuff done around the house.
