He seems to like to play by himself a bunch. There's just something about the water table or pool that he REALLY wants me to play with him. Right now it's probably partially because he was stuck not playing with water for three weeks because of the cast and is extra excited about it, but it was pretty similar before. I bring out reading but rarely get to much of it.<br /><br />I just figure having a playmate will make it that much more likely he'll be content. I'm hoping it helps at church too. He's been pretty difficult at times lately, and I see the kids with siblings tend to have more quiet amusement together. I'm hoping anyway! :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03647116892177098796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35968210.post-26639502461037445642011-06-27T15:35:10.103-04:002011-06-27T15:35:10.103-04:00Well, Ben is always happy to play by himself as lo...Well, Ben is always happy to play by himself as long as I am nearby. And Anna is generally happy if Ben is there. Plus since Anna can't get out of the pool on her own it sort of bides me time LOL...."ohhh Anna you can't get out yet I am in the middle of this row of knitting. You will have to wait a few minutes..." and by the time I am done she is distracted and forgot she wants to get out LOL And Jen...if Ian asks you to play with him have you ever simply tried saying no? Sometimes I will say, "No, mommy is doing _____ and can't play right now. You play by yourself a while." Sometimes it works sometimes no LOL. Worth a try though.Jamie Carin and Claudio Romanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152021172290149801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35968210.post-84734469080551089342011-06-27T14:48:43.928-04:002011-06-27T14:48:43.928-04:00Sit and knit and read, hmm.

Right now, Ian wants me playing with him most of the time, which is fun, but some lounging sounds really good too.<br /><br />Clever idea about the basin, I'll have to try that.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03647116892177098796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35968210.post-91203045219957297572011-06-25T18:56:20.664-04:002011-06-25T18:56:20.664-04:00Great-looking pool!Great-looking pool!Katherine T.
