Channel surfing- May 19,2011
At 6 months we have already gotten a taste of tantrums. We were changing Charlotte’s diaper a few weeks ago and she was reaching for the adorable alphabet card letters I worked so hard on for her room. I knew she was going to rip another one down so I took it away from her and returned it safely against the wall. (Can you spot the missing “V”.)

Greyson and I looked at our sweet little perfect angel as she wailed and then looked at each other. Has it begun already? Since then, I try to give her a toy to hold when I change her. (Those cards are proof I can be somewhat crafty and I don’t want that evidence destroyed.)
Now, I’ve already explained how we are “TV people.” We effing love our DVR. Our living room is littered with remotes for the TV, the cable box, the Blu-Ray player, and the Wii. In the past few days Charlotte has discovered the remote and wants to hold it when we hold it. I do not allow this because TV remotes are disgusting. I’ve heard they are the nastiest things in a hotel room, so I assume they are some of the nastiest devices in our home as well. When I told Greyson this, he said, “Amy, what are you doing with the remote to make it so disgusting? I just change the channel with it.” I just told him where he could stick said remote.
I guess yesterday she must have really hated whatever I was watching because she was reaching for the remote and crying her little eyeballs out. So, I caved and gave her the one remote that goes most untouched, the one to the Blu-Ray. (We don’t watch that many Blu-Rays. Surely it’s cleaner. That’s my logic and I’m sticking to it.)
You would’ve thought I gave her a million bucks.
Of course her holding and subsequently gnawing on the remote effed up the TV. It took me 20 minutes to get back to the show I was watching. I took the batteries out and now she can do things like take a nap with the remote. I’m not making this up…
Spread it around:
Ha ha–a nap with the remote!
You know, if your husband follows your directions with where he sticks the remote, you will definitely have a germ issue. I'm just sayin'….
this is hilarious… love that last photo.
