Let Kids Rest and Get Bored

Yesterday morning I was getting my little one dressed for the day and she said "Mommy where we going?"  I told her we were going to the grocery store and to the Children's Museum and then to eat lunch with daddy at his office.  She looked at me and said "No, lets just stay at home."

I realized that while it is fun to go and have activities and also important to do the grocery shopping so my family has food.. sometimes little ones just need down time.  They need days at home with no where to go and no agenda, and no play dates.  It is healthy for them to have some time to get bored, so they can use their imagination and have free play.

So today we have no agenda; we are still in our PJs and are just going to see what unfolds for the day here at home.  Hopefully I can come up with a few fun crafts and then leave Madison with the rest of the day for just rest and free play....Humm maybe one of our activities can involve making brownies or cookies (that's more for mommy..haha).
