It appears that Nick is not the Nickelodeon of our time, friends. That's not necessarily a bad thing! (For starters, they have several channels. I remember when ALL of the kids programming was on Nickelodeon. No Nick meant no TV.)
I admit that I have not yet begun to watch kids shows since Abby does not watch them. I have a friend that started sitting down with his boy the weekend after he was born to watch Saturday morning cartoons. I, on the other hand, refuse to give in until I have to.
Anyway, I heard this morning about a good think that Nick is doing. Seems that they realize how much TV is contributing to the obesity of children, so they are going off air tomorrow for a three hour period! I would imagine that means that they are losing money in revenue, but for all I know it may just have their logo and a logo for Coke or something.
It's a part of their annual Worldwide Day of Play. They encourage folks to get outside and do something. Anything. They have a website to come up with ideas if you're fresh out of them. This is the fourth year.
I say good for Nick. I think I'll go out and play to celebrate! (Actually, I don't have a choice. It's Homecoming and Anny wants to show off Baby.)
Have you heard of Noggin? It's actually pretty cool. The TV now for toddlers is pretty awesome. However, books are better. hehe.
