Childcare On-Demand

We subscribed to HBO, with that the cable company gave us a digital cable box that allowed us to watch shows on-demand. This turns out to be a good baby-sitting tool. Victor loves to watch all the PBS kids show. For a while his favorite show was Thomas & Friends. Nowadays he watches Bob the Builder, Curious George, Caillou, Jay Jay the Jet Plane, Sagwa the Chinese Cat, Dora and Diego, Fireman Sam, and Winnie the Pooh. He doesn't watch Teletubbies anymore; it's for younger children. We don't watch much TV at all. Victor and Oliver hog the TV for the on-demand shows. Victor never sits properly when watching. He is either standing, lying on the carpet, climbing up to the back of the sofa, or busy with his many chores (like "cooking" his Easter Eggs and candies in pans and pots). They can entertain themselves while we do some housework. We love the on-demand TV.
