Josh has the baby flu, has had it since last Thursday. Andrew has a cold and just wants to run around but the weather here sucks big time. Last night I stated developing a cold and this morning it has gone into a full blown cold with stuff dripping down the back of my throat What can I do to entertain Andrew??, he has been watching DVD's all week (apart from yesterday when he went to pre school) and is now starting to get bored with that. I can't do much with him as I feel rotten. And to top it off Nigel is away tonight as he is play a Staff Sergent for the private recruits tonight. Any ideas?? ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Get him to cut out pictures and make it in to a collage (sp?) if you have kiddy sissors. a card to send to grandparents or daddy? ------------- https://secure.fertilityfriend.com/home/30c4ec/" rel="nofollow">  Mrs Te Kani ❤️ Neosha 26/5/2007 |

If you have big old buttons get him to thread them onto a peice of string.
Play eye spy (even though you are at home) Tea party with all the teddys He can build a fort with chairs and a big blanket or sheet. If you have a big box make it into a boat and he can make his own hat eye patch and sword out of newspaper and be a pirate You could go outside and get a few dried leaves and he could make a picture out of them ------------- https://secure.fertilityfriend.com/home/30c4ec/" rel="nofollow"> Mrs Te Kani ❤️ Neosha 26/5/2007 |

Paper mache?
Does he know his letters? He might be into copying words from baby-type books (big print and few words) with fridge magnet letters. Sorry that's all I can think of for now. I'm laughing at the hide n seek idea tho!! -------------  |
