There was a point when we’d be learning about something and it would click and they’d say – ‘oh like in the Simpsons when…’ Seemed to happen daily!

I saw that Andrew Marr program advertised the other day and was thinking we should watch that :)

BB likes order, the sameness and was getting stuck in a rut of watching the same progs/dvd and playing roblox pretty much all the time, and then not being able to think of anything else to do. we have a house of stuff, a garden of dens etc etc so felt that we needed to limit things so she had to make choices on how to spend her time, rather than defaulting. we enjoy comedy too, but obv in a horror phase! and both girls always love natural history type programmes.

We don’t limit TV at all and so there’s a lot of comedy in our kids’ diets but I still maintain they’ve both picked up loads from The Simpsons ;-)
