Children: The Girl Child - 3, The Boy Child - 1 | Re: Suitable Television programs for 4 and 8 year olds | | Sesame Street. I am extremely picky about what my kids watch, so everything approved is DVRed. Sesame Street, Curious George, mostly PBS. Older Blue's Clues (they are great with counting and colors).

Of course by only letting them watch 'educational' stuff, I'm prob depriving them of the Goonies and the Ren & Stimpy of their generation. |
