Hey all, I am in need of some ideas and help with keeping my son entertained for the next few days. His school is closed for the week and all of his friends are out of town for the break. I fell this past Friday and twisted both of my ankles, have been in pain and really only able to hobble around the last few days. Today I can walk somewhat normally, but still have to go slowly and carefully.
My son loves to be outside running around and I want nothing more than to run outside with him. But I just physically can’t right now. My husband left for a work trip today, so it’s just me and kiddo until Saturday. My mom and sister, who I would normally lean on for help while my husband is gone, are on vacation. (We couldn’t go with them - I have other obligations at home). Today we have watched a lot of tv and I am feeling so immensely guilty. He seems content, but I’m just sad that I can’t do more for him.
So any ideas would be welcomed for keeping him occupied while I can sit and watch or participate with him. We’ve played some games, played magnatiles, colored, but those kinds of things don’t keep him occupied for long. I’m just at a loss and feeling like a terrible mom for keeping him in front of the tv for so long. 😞
