Entertaining a 2 year old

...the greatest challenge I've faced recently. It's not necessarily the lack of ideas it's just the lack of energy needed to sustain his ever attention desiring heart. Dad asks, "How's the little blonde tornado?" and it couldn't be a better metaphor. He's not so much into breaking things and but the speed and potential for disaster is easily present.

So splash parks, and really anything to do with water have been a great compromise...not any on his part. Plus with the hot hot sun pouring down on us now I couldn't feel better about him running around as long as he stays cool.

It's amazing the inescapable expense you could go to in order to entertain a child. It's ridiculous actually and so the 2nd level of challenge is to find things to do on a regular basis that don't burn a hole in our pockets. Hence the reason for this arrangement.....

....he won't know how lame it really was until he's like 4 or 5. For now my roasting pan makes for an excellent mini splash park, especially when I get the bubble machine rolling, haven't seen bubbles AND fountains anywhere...but I haven't been to Disney in a while either.

Life is good with a little bit of creativity and some odds and ends.
