crappy day activity.....

one of my new years resolution was to do more purposeful activities with the kids. not just a bunch of free play. I want to cultivate activities that aren't structured but still have developmental truths to them. So today my house is under construction and probably will be for the next few months with new carpet, flooring for kitchen, painting bedroom, building an armoire, siding, roofing and landscaping all on the "honey do" list by June. so right now I have half a set of bunk beds in my living room including mattress....what else do you do with a mattress that's in the way? push it down the stairs.....right?????

Learning to be helpful...AND muscle development!

Problem Solving.....

is this safe she asks.....sure! I say....safe enough!

a child should feel a minimum of 100 impacts a day for proper development on joints and such...I think way hit that....

buddy jumping got nixed fairly fast...that was a little unsafe:-)

Lou-Lou thought it was great too!

we moved on to dance party...more joint impact development....

and Jax declares "let's make the fun jumps funner!"

problem solving running into TV...smart kids!

So, you want to send your kid to my house right? :-)
