In the throes of the my pregnancy-induced exhaustion I've been finding it pretty hard to keep up with and entertain my wonderfully energetic toddler. The thing about second pregnancies though is that you don't really have a choice about getting up in the morning or doing something during your day - there's a little person depending on you, and you owe it to them to be present. Thank the Lord for naptime!!
Anyway, I've been making an effort to try and do something fun and different with Wesley every couple of days. He's getting to an age where he's able to focus on something for longer than 30 seconds now, and it's really so fun to see him get excited about things and watch him interact with the world around him.
I'm so in love with Pinterest for all the fabulous ideas for toddler activities (and more!) that you can find.
In case you're looking for some ideas as well, here are some of the activities/games/crafts we've tried or are planning to try... (click on the link for explanation)
Filling the kitchen sink up with water and bubbles and "washing" the dishes
Bowling with paper towel tubes (or other household items) and ball
Magnets on cookie sheets
Digging for treasure in shredded paper
Paint in large ziploc bags taped to the table (no mess!)
Paper plate ring toss (cut the middle out of paper plates and toss onto paper towel tube)
Go nuts with stickers!
