Hi friends. I drove an hour away to the childrens museum with my kid today. They had a band there playing drums and my kid got super over stimulated and wanted to go home. They recently made a sensory room there and I took him into that instead and it was like magic. He calmed down in about 10 minutes. I am sold. They should have these everywhere!!!
Anyways, still solo parenting and just happy I got us out to do something really fun and it went well :)
That's always a hard thing to have happen. We drove to a farmers market a few weekends ago and the kids were over it in like 20 min. Hot, crowded, and the oldest had zero interest in the food truck offerings. So we got some cool drinks and drove home. Sometimes you swing and miss! Glad it worked out though! Kids museums are great.
It’s funny because I actually have memories of my parents bringing me to farms and places like that and feeling like I was going along with them to do chores and now I know they were doing it for me. They just also bought vegetables and stuff while we were there.
