Okay, that may sound a little dire, but when you spend a majority of your time outside with your child, it can make like life a little hairy. Especially if you have a child standing at the door constantly asking to go outside…and not understanding why the dogs get to go, but he can’t.

I have it easy right now since Tyler is still in daycare for part of the day. However, it doesn’t take long for him to get bored in the house, so I am usually calling other mamas trying to figure out a rain-out plan for the afternoon. Right now, we are all trading houses, so our babies can have some new scenery.

It is so hard because Tyler is not yet at that age where he wants to spend time building blocks or playing intently with toy sets. He more or less wants to explore and practice all his new skills. And after exploring the house a few times, he is done.

I am really looking forward to trying more arts and crafts will Tyler. I expect it will take some time for him to get into them, but I plan to spend more time introducing him to that stuff when I am at home. Once he is older and can play imagination games, that will help to. We could always spend our afternoon having an indoor picnic and campout….
