goes something like this:
bubbles
playing in the fountain
which results in outfit changes by 9am
picnics
organized play-times outside of the house
playdates
playing in the dirt

and long, intense naps
since school was out this week, i decided *we* would try to not watch tv all week - no thomas no wonder pets no NOTHIN'. i must have heard "watch homas! watch homas!" every five minutes on monday. by wednesday he only asked me once. and yesterday and today the tv was barely {if even} mentioned. its refreshing but was also exhausting for me, since i could never just sit him in front of the tv for a quick 20 minutes to

so so with you Nat. We occasionally ban tv too - always ends up being a great (and exhausting) thing to do. prob that time again around here...i'll have to take a few weeks to get geared up : )
ReplyDeleteproud of you!
Very impressive. Maybe something we should try since Simms has redeveloped her love for Cailou! Someone help me now!
