Jul. 8, 2008 - Bored Children?
I admit, this hasn't been our "usual" summer. With me being on bedrest, it's really thrown some things off. Now that we don't have friends coming and going in the house everyday, the art of entertaining my children has fallen on me. I don't know what to do! I need to create some type of [flexible] summer schedule of activities to help keep them busy. I almost thought about starting school early, but I don't want there to be gaps from having the baby in between it all. Ugh! I don't know what to do! We have a wonderful sized yard - lots of toys, activities, art supplies, a basement, etc., etc. Plus, Gabriella got tons of new art projects for her bday (like string art, origami, etc.) How can anybody be bored around here?!?!?
Solution?
Time to go back to the "Mommy I'm Bored" box! My oldest created one and now I am going to help my 3 year old create one of his own and create one for my 15 month old toddler (yes, even he gets bored!)
I checked out a few books from the library today to give me more cool ideas. They are all by Trish Kuffner:
The Toddler's Busy Book
The Preschooler's Busy Book
The Children's Busy Book
That way I have activities at all my children's stages! I really want to buy these books, they are excellent resources and ones I would refer to again and again!

I'm so sorry to hear you're on bed rest. Hope it's not for long. Hang in there.
