Is Stella asleep on the couch? Nope. Sadly, she is watching tv and enjoying it. Normally, we really limit the amount of time the tv is on in our house during Stella's awake time. However, between her dinner and the time Andy gets home from work can be stressful in the house - even when it's a short time period. Stella is usually pretty good, but sometimes her patience wears thin with me and it's "da-da? da-da?" over and over again.
Meltdowns are common during this 30-45 minutes. Who comes to the rescue? Mickey Mouse. Yes, I let her watch tv (actually, we DVR the Mouse for these occasions). The funny thing is that it makes her so happy. Really I think it's just the introductory music...because after 5-10 minutes, she has moved on to something else and isn't in a tv coma. So for now, it works for us. I'll take 10 minutes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse over 30 minutes of a tantrum on the floor. Thanks Disney!
