I fondly call myself (and M) Baby Boy’s entertainment committee. I realize it part of being a mom, but many times I find this to be the most taxing part of the day. Taking care of Baby Boy’s physical necessities are pretty straight forward: I have a task- feed\/change\/bathe\/clothe etc- I begin it and when it’s one it’s done. In between, though, is that time where I need to teach, interact, and for lack of better word, entertain Mr. Baby Boy. I believe this is the aspect that makes many stay at home moms go stir crazy.<\/p>\n

While it is most definitely rewarding to “be there” both physically and mentally, as your child grows up, and I wouldn’t change it for the world, some days I struggle to come up with activities for us. And this is where baby junk appretiation comes in. Before I had baby boy I was adament that I didn’t want too much baby stuff around and taking over the house*. Now, however, I couldn’t be more appreciative of the fifteen minute increments of free movement I get when Baby Boy is entertaining himself in the safety of a toy he can’t wriggle out of. Put him in, and it’s ready…set…dishes\/laundry\/tidy\/lunch\/blogging Go!<\/p>\n
*Full disclosure: The baby stuff take-over does bother me, and I am consequently working on a play area to compartmentalize the mess. Post to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
