    - seriously. i was totally paranoid about the TV from reading this- we only just started letting DD (11 months) be in the same room if the TV is on. and i just started watching Signing Time with her, so I did make a few exceptions.

      - I just have to say signing time is excellent.

        Yes I major in Deaf Studies and ASL. Sign time is what my Deaf professor made us watch in the beginning. So I do suggest it

- I keep the tv on and my older one watches tv so my 16 month old has been exposed since the beginning. He will occasionally watch a couple of minutes of blues clues but is otherwise not interested. I know people freak out about this but I'm pretty sure my mom had a stream of soaps on when I was a kid and my sister and I are ok.

  - LOL this is so true. My mom said she watched soaps so much while I was a child, I starting asking everyday what Luke and Laura where doing.

Any wives of declaration signers on? I feel so alone, with DH out trying to build a country for everyone else when he has a family at home!
