Sigh

Why does Nickelodeon suddenly start to run Nick Jr shows (Nee How Kai Lan) at 7 AM instead of Sponge Bob? Alan got upset this morning about it as he now ABHORS any of the preschool shows he contentedly watched last summer.

I vaguely remember them starting the younger children shows earlier in the summer last year but it was not an issue as he was either watching Noggin at the time or didn't really care.

Alas all of the other alternatives at 7AM I found this morning don't work (Cartoon Network - Ben 10, Disney Channel - Handy Manny, Disney XD - Even Stevens - PBS - Sesame Street). Have to see if we get Nicktoons, that would work I hope. There is on demand kids tv in a pinch, but I think the shows are less than a 1/2 hour  and I'd have to set it up :(

I let Alan watch tv in the morning so I can get ready or try to. We've done it for years.

If only Cartoon network had Pokemon at 7 not 8 AM, Alan would be very happy :)

Wow, this is a great opportunity for little Alan to pick up a book and learn to love reading. My daughter was quite a reader at four years old and is now a budding fiction writer while working for a MFA. Books can be greater babysitters than the TV, especially since books don't make noise. I implore you to encourage little Alan's literacy, for his sake and the future of our world. Best to you.

I am trying to encourage him to read on his own, he doesn't seem want to. Thanks for the advice.
