And while we are pretty good at keeping ourselves busy, I went to the web to get some additional ideas to keep in my bag of ticks. Three straight days with just them and me is going to be interesting. Thanks for all the suggestions.

My 4 yr old daughter loves the bus, so we often go for a short bus ride (don't want to be trapped on a bus with a bouncing kid) but something about the change of scenery and the anticipation of where we might end up is fun for her. As for my son, I keep my eye out for construction sites close to my house. A walk do to look at tractors and diggers is good to keep him going for a bit. Basically, any activity that distracts and engages seems to work. Great list.

My son is already 7 months. It is crazy how fast it is going, but I simply can't wait for him to start talking and interacting with me. These are all great ideas and it is important we remember their point of view. I am always catching myself wondering what is going through his mind when something happens (or is not happening for that matter). Great article. My son is already 7 months.

My children always loved drawing. We kept tons of paper, pencils, markers, crayons and chalk. Thats quite a list of things to do. My children always loved drawing.

The list may seem obvious, but it's funny because when your kids are bored and your wracking your brain for ideas --- you can never come up with these ideas. I also like that your list is simple. It doesn't have to be something earth-shattering for your kids to enjoy it. They just want to be with you and to stretch their imagination... -B Great ideas, all!
