Parenting at it's finest

First it was the Backyardigans. They are now old news- there is a new crew in town, and they are Dog, Duck, Sheep, etc. and they are the gang on Word World.
Just to try and save a little "face" here.....I did get a Bachelors degree in Child Development with a minor in Psychology. I have heard over and over to not sit your children in front of cartoons, it will "ruin" them, give them ADD, speech delays, etc. Contrary to what it looks like, we do not "park" Macie in front of the TV for hours a day, but we sure do put her there when nothing else will make her happy. I will also put one on for her if I am taking a shower and it's not nap time.
The other day I stumbled across Word World and left it on and Macie went crazy. She thought the dog and the duck were a riot. Below is a clip of her watching Word World.

Now after hearing that laugh, would you deny your kid the cartoon?

She has the greatest laugh - Comes up from her toes!
You watched cartoons and like you said, you have a Bachelor's degree, so didn't do you any harm!

How cute is this? I would be letting her watch cartoons 24/7 just to hear that laugh.
