I just need to come up with some guidelines - x number of minutes per day and use it as currency when I need him to pick up toys etc. Usually when I tell him he needs to pick up toys first, he forgets about the video game and plays with the toys instead of picking them up (easily distracted). I've been sick for the past 3 weeks with H1N1 so it's been really easy to just say "sure - you can play a video game while mommy lays on the couch!" I'm just now starting to feel human again so we need to get back into a routine.
