Bob The Briber

The patching regime is falling apart. Henry is tearing off patch after patch. We've resorted to using TV as a reward/ bribe for wearing the eye patch. If Henry has it on, he can watch the "Bob The Builder" DVD we bought him recently. When he tears it off, the TV goes off. I'm not sure he's far enough along developmentally to understand the relationship, but we have to do something.

Neither Tom or I are really happy about encouraging him to watch TV like this. But, priorities--the eye therapy and making it work is more important than our reservations about TV watching for little kids.

Henry now wanders around the house saying "Bob. Bob. Bob. Bob." Mildly disturbing. I can't say I really like the show myself. But who am I? Maybe Thomas the Tank Engine is better. I bet I'll be finding out soon.
