Anyone else have a toddler/other child?

Question

I have a 2 year old and I feel so bad for the past few weeks. I obviously can’t do the most with her and it’s like 30 degrees out so we try to take a walk in the afternoon some days. She mainly watches her iPad or we try to draw/play with toys, etc. anyone else??😕 anything that helps keep them entertained? The guilt is real

Answer

I have a 2 year old as well - we’ve had to keep playtime to the sofa a lot of the time as I’ve got SPD. I push our footstool up to the sofa and throw a big blanket over it so it’s almost like a bed but it stops toys falling down the cracks in my sofa 🤣 
But doing that we can play legos, we do some colouring, she likes to play babies and I take care of the babies whilst she pretends to cook for them in her kitchen etc. she gets some of her boxed games out (buckaroo etc) 
A bit of repetition going on but hopefully it won’t be for too long before I can start getting back down on the floor with her and the little one 🙂

Answer

I have a 4 year old and I work from home so it’s definitely hard because she wants to play all the time but I can’t. I try to do little things with her too like coloring, reading books but I also let her help me with all the baby stuff. She helps me fold the baby clothes and organize the room, I let her help pack the diaper bag and she feels like she’s involved too. I know yours is younger but maybe try that, even if you don’t use the stuff she picks out at least she feels needed. Good luck ❤️

Answer

Same momma, my 2 year old does a lot of independent play, TV, we have play doh and that sticky sand stuff we use often. Also bath time with crayons/body wash paint is a good 30-45 time killer too
