Ok I'm starting this thread to get ideas on what to do with DS during the day - I'm guilty of using the TV too much (ie its on ALL day) even though he isn't watching it all the time. I admit that I have been slack because of having a newborn, but since she is almost 4 months old - that excuse just isn't cutting it anymore

So.. this thread is for people to share their ideas, experiences etc with setting up activities for toddlers.

So far today - other than watching tv - we have:-

* had a draw with crayons and textas. He made me draw cars, and balls and I did a lovely sunset with crayons for him
* had a tickle/throwing session on the couch that left me exhausted - its hard work hauling nearly 13 kg....
* playing with his cars on the couch at the moment.

Ok so thats pretty slack mothering on my behalf.

I do plan to take him to the park before his nap this morning while DH stays at home with DD (he is on sick leave atm) and take him shopping as well cos I have to pick up a pressie for someone.

Anyone else care to share? Don't be embarrassed if you are guilty of using the tv - we are here to support one another to change the behaviour that we are guilty of doing.

I've taken the big step admitting it - who's next?
