In my house I have tried to install the Make Your Own Fun motto. There are toys, movies, colouring books, games, books, music and of course, each other to keep them entertained. I do not find it necessary to be constantly going somewhere or having play dates to keep the kids happy. Unfortunately, today was not Curran's day. He was bored.
There was a rodeo on the floor of his bedroom, a tent over the couch, a movie theatre in my bedroom, a farm in front of the television, crayons and colouring books all over the kitchen table, a marshmallow monster on the counter, a pirate ship in the bathtub, a ball game outside, and a race car track on the stairs. It is only just noon.
I have not yet figured out what "fun" I can create with him this afternoon. However, I do know I will not have fun convincing him to clean up his boredom.
