It has been so cold here...and so we haven't really gotten outside much. I almost always take K out at least once a day for a half an hour or so. He has been asking, and wanting to play in the snow, but I haven't wanted to brave the cold weather. Thankfully, it is supposed to warm up a bit this week! Anyway, this morning I decided to bring snow inside to him...I put it on his roller-coaster (which is a toy our neighbors have let us borrow, it is awesome...there is a cart you sit on and zoom down the two hills ...K LOVES it!). Anyways, he really enjoyed eating clean, white snow off the coaster!
I feel so cooped up , I can't imagine how K feels...so I am trying to do anything to make his days a bit more exciting! Do any of you have ideas for activities in the home (for a busy toddler!) during this long winter?
Yummy Snow!
MMMMM....
Check Out the roller-coaster...now imagine K on a cart thing and zooming down!! FUN!

That roller coaster looks like fun!
I don't know if K would like this or not but, Kole likes to play with dried beans. I put them in a baking sheet or a large tupperware and give him some cups and spoons and he plays with that. He loves it! For Ava I do the same but with small dried pasta like shells or elbows. I just make sure she doesnt't eat it. You could also use dry rice if you wanted...just a thought. Oh, and be prepared to sweep the floor when he's done! It's worth it though for the fun they have. :)
Wow, that is some roller coaster! And glad to hear about the speech!
I'd love to come visit sometime! That might kill some time. It's been fun catching up with K on your blog. I'll bet that's about the ONLY way to catch up with him!
love the roller coaster! I remember those cold, homebound days... but never thought to bring the snow inside - what a great idea :)
when they're bouncing off the walls (and each other)we try to direct some of that energy - we've set up obstacle courses, make forts, dance. Of course now that I have older ones they set up most of it and I don't do as much - but I should - it's good exercise!
