If you know my son at all you know that he LOVES to watch movies, especially if they include Elmo, Barney, or a Veggie Tale of some sort. We try to limit the amount of movies and TV he watches, but it is really hard when he is constantly asking for it. We have kind of started a new routine where we let him watch a movie for a little while before bedtime at night. It helps to calm him down before his bedtime routine and he is happy. He gets so excited when we say, "Do you want to watch a movie?" He runs into our bedroom, crawls into our bed, and assumes the position; covers pulled up, hands behind the head. He could probably stay in this position for hours if we let him, but we try to limit it to 20 minutes or so at night. I am hoping this will get him to realize that watching TV is a special treat and not an all the time occurence. We will see how it goes!
