Today I bought a new portable DVD player for the kids. It's a great thing to have for several reasons. On a long car journey it keeps them quiet. On vacation it keeps them quiet in the airport and means they have their own shows to watch in the hotel. And at home it means they can watch 2 different shows and still not need to use the TV in the living room, so hubby and I can watch our own shows. For a couple of years we had a Polaroid one which was great. Apart from the battery dying because Elizabeth spilled water on it, it worked really well. The screen was nice and big and was fully adjustable, and it had lots of other nice features. Shortly before Christmas though it just stopped working. So while we were in Pittsburgh for Christmas we bought a new one. It wasn't as nice though, as it was designed primarily for use in a car, so had a small screen (although it actually had 2 screens), which wasn't adjustable. Anyway, last month that packed up too. I had bought an extended warranty with it (fortunately!) so I sent it back for a full refund. So today I went to Best Buy and got another new one. This one is very similar to the first one in size and design, and so far is working very well. I just have to make sure the kids (especially Edward) don't destroy it too soon - although I did get the extended warranty again ;)
In this picture they are watching Ponyo, their current most favorite movie. Edward especially is fascinated by it.
