Teething, TV and technology

To quote Wikipedia:
A blog (a contraction of the term "web log") is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.

So not much of a blog really as I have been rubbish at the 'regular entries' part! I logged on often but seemed to have nothing to say. But enough is enough, here is my current 'nothing to say' as otherwise I will get writer's block and give up!

It's my 2nd wedding anniversary today and I am off to see Michael McIntyre which I am very excited about! Mr C remembered to buy me a card so all is hunky dory!

Mr T on the other hand has a little temperature and is under the weather and being a poorly little mite. We think he is teething with his molars but I can't seem to get a look in his mouth without him blocking it. As we are off out I am keeping him amused with some rare treat TV. Normally he is allowed a little bit after tea but today it is doing a good job of distracting him from his jaw so all are happy.

TV for kiddies? I have a friend who is so anti TV for her two kids that she doesn't even have one in the house! It does mean she also almost lives on another planet as she has no idea what is going on in the world but she believes her kids are more creative for not having TV. Maybe she is right..?

However she is also going to send her kids to a school where they don't use the internet until they are 15 and use no technology in teachings - is this realistic and a benefit to children? I worked in an internet company for 10 years and find her whole ideology hard to stomach. Surely there are limits to exposure but I am a firm believer that banning things creates want. It's very difficult when you disagree with a good friend on how to raise children. Mine is under 2 so to be honest what do I know? But I do have opinions and am often opinionated so have to walk away from many awkward discussions!!

Note to self: blog more!
