Update on "Bob"

Since we told him about it, Jacob has been so excited about "Bob."  He's been bragging to all of his friends that he has a robot.  But, this morning, Jacob said to me, "Mom, I wish we hadn't ordered Bob"   I guess he's caught on to the fact that Bob severely limits his time in front of the tube.  I'm loving it though!  I've never gotten him to do so many chores, homework, etc without any major meltdowns!

Another funny thing is that when their time gets blocked out, Bob says "Sorry, your time is blocked.  Have fun playing!"  Love it!

For those of you wanting to know where to purchase it, here's a link.  We ordered it from familysafe and it shipped in 2 days from Salt Lake.

What prevents a kid from unplugging it? Is it kid proof (like can older kids figure out a way around it)?


This sounds like such a great idea. Maybe I'll have to get one for my husband and myself. We both watch way too much TV. Ha-ha

There's a lock on the plug. They've thought of everything.

If only they made one of those for the computer...I'd use it FOR ME!

They actually work the same way on a computer :)
