Watching Babies

Lily doesn't like to watch television.    Even the best cartoons from Pixar and Disney fail to hold her interest.        At school they show a movie every Friday afternoon, and her teachers know to give her a desk activity to keep her occupied.    Our one trip to the movie theater ended before the film.    

But then we found Babies.   This is a documentary about 4 babies from different parts of the world.   It doesn't have a narrator, but offers a visual narrative of their lives from birth to walking.    I put this on, and Lily watched it from beginning to end.    

She's asked to watch it again multiple times in the week and a half since.   Instead I sit with her and cruise YouTube clips of babies laughing, babbling, crawling, etc.   I'll put the movie on again, but I don't want her to get in the mindset of watching television daily or even as a regular activity.
