I must be a bad mom. Unlike many parents, grandparents (and even the maids) who bring the little ones out for grocery shopping, window shopping or at least to the playground EVERYDAY, I don't. From Mondays to Fridays, he gets out of the house about thrice on average. Perhaps because of this, my boy is bored. So bored is he that he has resorted to some unconventional idea of play.
It started a few months back with this....
Then this....
And in the past two weeks, it has been this....
(when he thought no one was looking)
Emptied a book basket...
... and cramped himself into that small space and finding out it ain't comfortable
Then he started emptying the toy baskets and found that they worked really well...
Anyway, I call this the 'See Where I Can Fit In' game. It makes me feel kinda guilty - guilty that I haven't bought him more toys, guilty that I haven't taken him out more often (but it's been raining a lot too!), guilty that I've been too caught up with work and whatever else.
BUT... looking at the bright side of things, I must say he's getting more creative, and he's definitely learning how to make the best out of a situation. Which don't you think is an important life skill to acquire?
So hey, maybe I'm not such a bad mom after all?
