Owen watches lots of tv, too. I DVR a lot of stuff but we also have some decent dvd's. I swear, the first week the new baby was home, he was watching like 10 hours of tv a day. But we watch a lot of television, so I know there's no hope of us modeling good tv habits.
But we're getting better about shutting it off and we always keep it off at mealtimes. I've bought some good CD's and have been trying to play them--I highly recommend the Curious George soundtrack! It's very calming, relaxing stuff.
We also started with chocolate milk as a "treat" but have progressively gotten more casual about it. I always try to split half&half of the premade chocolate milk with white milk but Christopher usually just gives it to him straight up.
As far as "listening" goes, I'm happy if I get one good response a day. I think it's pretty age appropriate, though, so I'm trying not to panic.
