No... Eli!

This is what we hear from Christian's mouth 20 times every night. While the kids are watching TV, Eli goes up to watch with them. He likes buttons, so he tries to push the buttons on the TV and when he does, we get to hear Christian yell at him. He then tries to keep Eli's hands off the TV. This results in Eli crying or Christian yelling at us that Eli is changing the channel. I am trying to teach Christian how to work the TV so he can change it back. He gets some of it, but like the telephone (where he puts it 3 inches from his ear, says hello and hands it off), he doesn't get the full picture. He tries to change the channel when a show is on he doesn't like, but only knows how to go up with the remote, then its the parents to the rescue. At least he's trying. He can operate the DVD player pretty well. He can get it started, but isn't sure what to do when a movie ends or how to restart it. He'll get there eventually. It won't be long and he'll be the go to kid for the younger two when it comes to changing the TV.
