My DS turns into a zombie if the TV is on. Until the show changes and he screams "MUM! MUM! LOOK! LOOK XXX IS ON! MUM!" and so on until I actually look and answer him. Unfortunately for me, there's no chance of a sleep in on the weekend as he just won't sit & watch by himself. But when we need to go somewhere, he won't do a thing if the TV is on . So no TV in the mornings in our house unless we are staying home, AND he is already been to the toilet and dressed. He will eat breakfast very slooooowly if the TV is on. DD seems to be taking lessons from him too lol!
