Hi Heather
I am new too! I have three little ones 3,2, and 1 so it is always a bit of a struggle to go out. We do play outside and do alot of sidewalk chalk kinda stuff. And everyday we cant make it out I try to do "dance party" (just dance on the Wii). They have fun with it! But I have found that leaving the house wears them out more and keeps them more content. While it is hard to do, after it all I feel better and they do too. The best thing I have found for my boys is sticking to a routine. Like every Tues and Thurs my oldest is in school so we drop him off and run some errands then go to a park until it is time to pick him up. If it is raining or cold out we go to the mall sometimes and walk for awhile then they play in the playland that is there if you have one of those. Most of the time I am by myself with them and in these cases I find a location that is small and contained so I am not running after one while the other is going in a different direction. Hope iti helps you I know it is hard Good luck! |
