How to entertain a child while you pack up the house...
Poor Crumpet has been horribly ignored this week. We had a yard sale Saturday and the first set of movers arrives tomorrow. We are madly organizing the house, and choosing what things to send to storage tomorrow. So there has been a fair amount of t.v. watching. However, he has also spent hours building with Legos. He plays with playdoh. Once, he made a volcano with playdoh, added baking soda and vinegar, and watched it bubble over for a long, long time while I went through the kitchen cabinets. And today, he washed my car all by himself while we dug through the junk in the garage! Any pictures? No, I keep thinking to grab my camera just as he decides he's done with a project. Sigh.

Can he come visit my home! Sounds like he's super helpful (sometimes). Goodluck on your upcoming move! The last time we moved, we took some of the moving paper, the baby gate and painters tape and turned the girls loose in a closet that had been COVERED wtih the paper! They LOVED it! I loved it b/c they were contained~!
ReplyDeletemy kids love to wash the car too. Sounds like he's having a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteWow - Crumpet can wash the car??? Can he come and wash ours - they really need it! Good luck with your move prep!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet that he washed your car - isn't that totally a boy thing to decide to do?! I think Matthew would love Crumpet and his fun ideas... especially the volcano. You have a good self-entertainer there! Good luck with your move and all it entails... I hope all goes as smoothly as possible for you!
