Rainy Days

 CP is an uber sports fan! She can do various errands on a rainy day as long as we tell him what our schedule is going to be. One of his favorite things to do is visit the golf store. They always carry kids sized clubs and putting greens. We have a practice sessions and get some wiggles out between stores.

 We have a few boxes that are low lying. It great balance practice to set them up near a wall and all kids to walk up and down the box or 2x4. Hold their hands the first time or two and allow them to get use to it and soon it will become a great independent activity.

Not only is our son a sports fan, he loves animals. We visit pet supply stores between errands to allow him to get out of the car seat and cart. We are investigating the hermit crabs and it is hilarious! You'd be surprised how many conversations can occur in a pet shop. Between the puppies, kittens, fish tanks, hamsters, birds, spiders, snakes, lizards, and anything else you can find there provides so many topics to practice conversations skills, language, types of habitats, appetites, etc. Be creative with what you decide to tell you kids! They learn a ton from adding a visual to vocabulary.
