[quote=Anonymous]The little boy I watch is wonderful. He's always happy and content, his parents are great... but me, his nanny? I sometimes get bored.

Our outings are limited - mostly because his parents, while trusting of me, still want outings limited. We go out maybe twice a week: once to the library or book store, and one day for errands. With winter ahead, I fear that these two outings will be even more limited.

I work 12 hour days with the little guy, and his (2-3) naps last an hour if I'm lucky. He isn't mobile yet. We read. We have tons of floor play time. We explore food (through BLW). I extend bath time into play time. We take walks (though that's now almost impossible). We listen to music.

But I get bored. There's only so much I can do, especially when I'm mostly confined to the house.

How do you fill your day with a little one? I'd love some ideas, maybe I'm just feeling rusty since I've taken care of toddlers or toddlers + a younger sibling for the past few years.[/quote]
