Today was our first "official" day this year that we have not had to watch Colton ( I had watched him August to Now from 7-3:30 -Monday through Friday). I was looking forward to a break but now I just wish he were still here. I must say that Elizabeth and I are already Bored to tears. I worked out and that was the highlight of my day. Unfortunately we live in a small town. There is not much to do here. There are only so many times you can go to Wal- Mart each week. Elizabeth and I have read every book we own at least 5 times and done all her puzzles multiple times. Elizabeth has been getting into everything. I catch her frequently going through the pantry and on the computer. She even figured out how to climb up the changing table. She is one brave girl. I think she is needing more excitement too.
If it is quiet in the house I can guarantee that Elizabeth is on the computer.
I am even jealous that my husband gets to go to work everyday. I have thought about getting a part time job but then I would have to worry about finding a babysitter for Elizabeth. Plus she is sick enough as it is, so putting her in that environment would make matters worse. I am just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for making life bearable at home all day with a two year old. I might go insane!!!! HELP

Let's see... We go on lots of walks to the park. Sidewalk chalk, bubbles, balloons, make cookies, color, we have ice cream days. Those are things that I like to do with all of us.
ReplyDeleteAs for me... I'm still in the process of making Elizabeth's shoes. I got the purple ones done, now I'm working on the pink (I promise I haven't forgotten). I'm into digital scrapbooking. It's easy and you can do everything on your computer. Then there are the awful basics of laundry, dishes, and coming up with dinner.
I hope that helps but I think the biggest thing that you should do this summer is to come to my house and we can play!!!!!! YOU SHOULD DO IT!
I know exactly how you feel, Maddie is so bored, especially since I don't have a car, so we are stuck at home. We've been using paint and playdough (I made it) and she loves those. The other thing I discovered is the computer-starfall.com. Maddie doesn't really get all of it, but she loves to look at the information, and it's educational, so I don't feel too guilty.
ReplyDeleteI found you! Nac kind of sounds like Rexburg. Wal-Mart sometimes is the high-light. You need a hobby, scrapbooking is always fun.
