Surprisingly good fun.
We went to B&Q earlier, which for those not in the UK is a big hardware/DIY/home maintenance/decorating shop. Kester went off to get what we needed, while Felix and I spent a fun half an hour wandering round the lighting section, with him oohing and ahhing at all the lights, pointing out his favourites, running excitedly to see what delights awaited us round the next corner etc. It was surprisingly good fun and made me realise that sometimes it doesn't take much to keep a toddler entertained. I wonder what he could get up to in the piano shop round the corner or the antique shop down the road...

It is often the simplest things that will make a toddler content. It is so great he is creative enough to entertain himself so well.
ReplyDeleteI used to do all kinds of silly things that kids oddly loved as a teacher, getting out a ball of yarn of a roll of toilet paper, shucking corn or trying to peel an orange, tearing up papers instead of just putting them in the shredder. Odd things just make kids amused.
Gosh it is so cool you will soon have two.
Bless him. Now you know why a lot of us swear by a trip to IKEA on a horrible day!
ReplyDeleteClaire - oh yeah, I can imagine Ikea is fun for a little 'un. Unfortunately not driving means the train journey there would be no fun at all!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth - it is cool but it's kind of bonkers too. We were eating dinner the other day and I said to Kester 'we're going to have two kids in about three months' and we both sat there stunned for a moment...
