Last Thursday was my last day of work & I am officially a SAHM now & LOVE it; thank you to my wonderful husband for making all of my dreams come true!! I love spending my days with Brayden & watching him grow, play, talk up a storm & even nap. Yes this week I have caught myself watching him when he is napping; he is so peaceful & adorable when he is sleeping & I can't help but stare at him! I mean look at him..........isn't he so cute curled up with his favorite cow???
I have to admit that I need to find more activities for us to do during the day though; I feel like he gets bored with the same ol' toys & doing the same ol' routine too so if anyone has any suggestions of fun things for Brayden & I to do we would love to hear them!!
We play outside as much as we can in the mornings before it gets too hot & I can't wait for early fall to arrive so we can play outside in the afternoons as well. I think that he would run around in the back yard with the dogs all day everyday & NEVER get bored with it. He loves to play on his slide that his Grams & Puddy got him for his birthday
& also loves to go to the little neighborhood park we have but it is still so hot in the afternoons after his nap & we have absolutely no shade at all in our backyard so I can't let him go out there for more that 5-10 minutes before he is hot, sweaty & the other day even got a heat rash.
Just a little FYI too.........Brayden is going to be 13 months old tomorrow & I feel like we just had his 1st Birthday last week!!!
I'm so happy to hear that you're loving your time at home with Brayden!
ReplyDeleteI struggle with the same thing: trying to keep the boys active & busy. little boys have LOTS of energy to blow off, don't they?!
Our mall has a kiddy play area that the boys enjoy running around in. Sometimes though, if it's too crowded, I skip it and the boys are just content to people-watch as I walk them through the mall. We spend a lot of time at the mall :-)
Check out your local library too....sometimes they have story time, and even though he is a little young to sit for it, he can still benefit by interacting with other kids and watching those around him. Barnes & Noble does something similar too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing that you get to be at home with him!
cute! and yay for getting to stay at home :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous....But, also SO happy that you're enjoying your time with him! He is such an adorable boy!
ReplyDeleteaw, i am so happy for you that you get to be a SAHM with your little guy!!! maybe there is some kind of group you can join or set up play dates so he can have interaction with other little ones.
ReplyDeletei am sure he is loving every minute he gets to spend with you hun! :)
That's so great! I know what you mean about how they seem to get a little bored though. I try to make sure we have an activity planned each day...story or music time at the local libraries, swim class, play group, etc... try to hook up with a mothers group in your area. I joined one with my daughter was 3 weeks old and we still get together every Wednesday for playgroup. We just took a photo of all 8 babies with birthday hats on since the last of them just turned one :)
ReplyDeleteI know it's the best job ever! Aww too bad we don't live there anymore...
