Parenting Skills

Please let winter end soon. I'm running out of ideas to keep the kids entertained.

Ben has recently, out of boredom, come up with a fun new game. It's called Sled Boarding. It involves him sledding down our barely inclined driveway into the street. It's safe; it's really, really safe. And I let him do it. Why? Because how else am I suppose to entertain the kid?!







He will Sled Board for hours. Hours, people. While I sit inside my warm house, watching him from the couch, Jake watching at door. Sometimes I wonder what the neighbors think of a four year old outside sledding down the driveway by himself. I've got parenting skills, people. I really do.

The other way we've been keeping entertained: indoor swimming.



It's easy, fun, time-consuming and mops my floor and washes my walls all at the same time. Plus, it keeps my kid off the street. Literally.
