Toddlers really know how to grab life by the balls. One moment they’re making pine cone and leaf soup, the next moment they are rearranging your living room to create a freeway for their cars.
Even after an IV of caffeine straight to the veins you would not be half as energetic as a toddler at 7 am. They are bright-eyed and bushy tailed from the get-go and they stop for nothing, not even to poop in the toilet. Nope. Pooping in your pants and having a giant turd actively trying to escape from your sweats is preferable to putting down your legos and sitting on the toilet for five minutes.
The thing about life before the pandemic is that it was also very busy, but easier to take all that busy energy out of the house and into sing-alongs, the toy corner at the local cafe, the Children’s Museum, etc.
Now everything happens here!
Luckily for me, my toddler has agreed to take a break from his busy agenda and be a guest writer on his mother’s blog again–to talk about all the things (except sitting on the toilet) that have been keeping him busy in quarantine. Thanks kid!
At any rate, I don’t know if you have a toddler at home, but if they are getting bored maybe you can suggest the above-mentioned activities. They seem to work for bored parents, too. Or maybe I’m just going crazy.
