I was at Costco the other day and they have these adorable puppets right now for the holidays. Well it's about 4 puppets for 8 bucks and I got the dinosaur set for Snickers. (They had all different kinds-bugs, polar animals, tropical animals, birds etc) While I watch TV, I just put on a puppet and he goes wild. Loves it, will even bring puppets to me to play with him. With the puppets, it never gets out of my reach, and keeps Snick occupied. His bite is not very hard so even if he gets my hand, it's padded with the puppet and it's ok, doesn't hurt and Snick thinks the dinosaur is alive. SO CUTE!! He even gets confused sometimes when I leave and the dino is not moving anymore. Then he beats it up and "kills" it and is satisfied. Good Luck- Snick & Viv |
omg, thats so funny because that thought goes through my mind every day. Lexi sleeps all day so when i get home, shes just wants to be with me and just gooooo. and me,, im poooped out, exhausted... Yesterday, wasnt feelin well and they said to go home and i said heck no, i cant get rest home,, lexi is there lol... anyway i try to amuse her when i get home with throwing the toys, but shes really not interested,, she just wants food all night long.. Its too cold out to really walk her far, plus im soooo tired and just wanna veg out in front of the tv under my blanket. Its soo rough, especially being alone,(single) living alone.. Im the only one that has to amuse her and do everything else at the same time.. By 8pm Im shot, and just want to go to sleep, but i feel terrible for lexi.. |

We've got 3 and someone is nearly always home with them during the day, but it seems when I walk in they all 3 want my attention. :p I take them all into the bedroom, shut the door, change clothes and then sit for a few minutes on the floor and just let them climb all over me. We'll play with a toy, have hugs & kisses, then we'll all get on the bed and I'll lay down for about a 20 min nap. Yogi has the most trouble napping, so sometimes I'll bring a toy up on the bed for him. But usually they'll all run around, over, on top of me and then find there places and lay down too. It took a little patience at first to ignore their pleas for play, but they have quickly learned that it's only for a short time. Then we'll get up and get on with our evening. I have found this works best from my kids and they seem to enjoy it now as much as I do. :) |
I am as busy as you, I work and go to school also. (I should be doing homework now--haha) Brooklynn is the same way, she wants to run and play as soon as we walk in the door. I have started taking her to pick up my son from school, and she seems to really like that. In my area, we really can't walk safely. Plus, she is still really young. However, she and my boys love to run from one end of the house to the other. She still gets plenty of excersise. We also do the fetch thing, only it turns into two of us throwing it at each other and she follows it. I am sure you will both adjust. it will be nice to have him at school with you! |
A walk is always good or if you have a backyard she can run in, all you have to do is let her out and watch her. Fetch is always a fun game for them. One of mine likes to be chased but I don't have to do much running - I just have to act like I"m about to run after him and he bolts off and when he stops, I just lunge towards him again. My favorite is tug of war - all you gotta do is get them interested and hold the other side... they do all the work :-) |
