Hands Off

We had a little "incident" this morning regarding the remote control.  I put a kid friendly show on for Sam so I could clean the kitchen.  Honestly,  most days the tv doesn't even come on in our house. We will let Sam watch every once in a while in small amounts. I usually send him to the play room to play when I need to get something done. Well I didn't this morning because his 4 wheeler is charging in that room. I just didn't think Sam could  play back there unsupervised and resist touching that toy. So I barely had the dishwasher unloaded when I hear the volume increase on the tv. We have been letting Sam control the volume when he watches tv and pause the show if he needs a potty break. So I go to check on Sam and the tv is on a rated R movie that he ordered for $7! What's crazy is how many buttons he had to successfully push to order it. So I called our cable provider and thankfully they removed the charge. She was walking me through putting a lock on our on-demand, but Drew needed me. I will call back when both kiddos are napping.  So we now have a hands-off policy regarding the remote control...or as Sam calls it "mote control" or "camote."
