No more boob tube

Recently my husband and I decided that our TV was distracting ourselves from each other and it was not okay for our son to watch. Our son is now 4. We started to notice that when he'd watch TV he'd act out more and constantly talk very loud, he wouldn't listen to the rules of the house or eat. It was getting really bad and my husband and I started to lose our patience with him. So this year we've decided that the boob tube must go, or at least the cable. Our son, Roman, still watches DVDs and sometimes he plays X BOX but usually he gets bored with it after 15 minutes.
So far no TV has been really hard but, I'm noticing that there's less yelling, we are helping each other out more and sometimes when I can not sleep at 2am its easier to read a book instead of turn on the TV.
Happy New year!
