He helps with laundry too, and can bring out his own laundry basket. Sometimes he gets rides in the laundry basket. Isaac loves cooking too, so I let him help me measure and dump things in and stir. He loves playing with pots and pans too. Sometimes if I need to get something done, I get out a bunch of dishes and snacks that he can "cook".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6804141020960858064.post-60939891435898746502011-06-06T07:26:25.694-07:002011-06-06T07:26:25.694-07:00Hey-- at least you've got somewhat of a schedu...Hey-- at least you've got somewhat of a schedule down! :) I need to work on doing somewhat of a schedule. I know how it is with feeling like you can't do anything besides when they're (Ky) napping. I used to think the same thing. Kiely has gotten better at entertaining herself with random things, and Ky probably will, too. (I don't know what it's like to have a boy, but I'd just assume he'd get better, too.) I also let Kiely help me with things that need done sometimes-- it takes longer, but it's SO worth it! She loves helping me, and I'm hoping this will continue as she gets older as long as I keep letting her help. (I let her help put dishes in the dishwasher/wash by hand if I do that, mop the floor, and sometimes wash the counter.) I also make sure that she's the one who picks up her toys (most of the time...) and have her put her clothes in her drawer. I guess that's mostly the cleaning aspect of things, but he really can help you... not sure if you have him help or not, but it seems to ease life when you know they're helping and learning. We also go to the library sometimes... not sure if you have a library there close by or not, but if you can't check out books, you could just go read to him, and some libraries do activities one day a week, which kids sometimes like to go to... I dunno, I guess there's sort of some ideas! Good luck! We're excited because it's getting warmer, so we can get outside more! :)Crissa Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02576359024184636520noreply@blogger.com
