After being home with Evie for ONE day, I realized that this being a stay-at-home mom thing for the summer was going to be a bit of a challenge. Don't get me wrong, I was really looking forward to some quality time with my little girl, but Keith just went back to work and I am having to figure this solo thing out. The hardest part is keeping her entertained with something for more than 3 minutes. At least my first graders will be content for 20, with a one year old things can be a little tricky. She loves to tear apart the Tupperware cabinet and attempt to eat dog food when I'm not looking, but Mommy is not okay with those activities. So after scouring Pinterest early one morning I came up with this:
You should have seen her face light up when she came down stairs in the morning and saw all of this on the floor! What is it you ask? Simply garbanzo beans in a dish tub with cups and spoons. This kept her entertained for a full half hour. In mommy-time that is GOLD! The best thing was she was still engaged when I put her next to it later that day and the next day.
Now I need to change out the beans for something new...hmmmm....
