Oh the ability to stand up

Elise can stand up anywhere now, including standing at the back of my legs,
the bathtub and in front of the tv to name a few of her favorite spots.
I think I've been having the tv on too much lately so we are going to cut ties with the cable. I had the TV off today and Elise was playing with the remote and somehow turned it on and got it to a channel with Sesame Street and watched for a good long while. Obvious sign that it's been on too much. She's a cute silly girl though.We got a netflix account and so hopefully that will cut down on the amount of time I waste in front of the tv. I really would love to do more things and haven't because of exhaustion, Elise, and my desire to keep things clean and not have Elise ruin stuff.
So my goals for TV free life are to
1. get more active (I'm thinking about joining a gym with the money I will save from canceling cable and dvr, the gym is way more expensive than canceling cable! I was shocked!)
2. start doing crafts or scrapbooking again
3. listen to music to fill the silence
4. Spend more time in the scriptures
5.read or listen to more books

Welcome back to the world of anti-technology...or more anti TV. In the past 10 or so years I have averaged about 20 hours of television a year, and look how I turned out. Okay bad example, but I am sure you will enjoy the extra time.
