DS1 is nearly 3 1/2 and the only thing he'll sit in front of for more than 5 minutes is Cars. I think both he and I can recite it word for word LOL!!
Harrison is exactly the same... Harrison loves to watch Cars as he is going down for a nap. DH and I know it word for word... some nights we sit in there and mouth the words too. Harrison only likes to watch the first 2-3 chapters then he is either over it or asleep.

He has also discovered Yo Gabba Gabba for his awake times, and also likes In The Night Garden (which DH and I think is annoying!)

So December, you're not alone hun... but 10 mins of movies for 10 mins peace and quiet is worth it if you ask me
