Course, we hardly ever watched it before, and we watch only DVDs because we don't actually have a signal coming into the house, but there has still been an increase. But it isn't because my boys are out of school; they aren't in school yet anyway. It's because the mosquitoes around here have been so awful that even bug spray doesn't keep them off! It's too hot to wear long sleeves, but even with bug spray my 16 month old looks like he has chicken pox. We read books, do crafts, all that fun stuff. But the screen is on for at least two hours every day now whereas it was less than 1/2 hour in the spring:) I know TV watching around here with my 5 year old has gone up.
