Don't wake the baby: quiet activities


 
SHHH... He’s sleeping! Now, what about the other two kiddies running around?

What happens when you finally get the littlest one down for his long awaited nap but as you tip toe away, you realize you’ve got the other little ones to entertain? The last thing you want is for any noise to wake up the peaceful sleeper.

Never fear--here are a few easy and QUIET pastimes for the hyper little ones:

1) Put on their favorite TV show, but make sure the volume is low. The kiddies will be more interested in the action on the screen to notice that the volume is low, and you'll have blissful quiet.

2) What happens if they demand to play with their train set?
Bring the train set and toy cars down to the basement so the sleeping beauty won't be disturbed by the noise. Make sure there are plenty of toys so there won’t be any reason to fight over sharing or make noisy trips back upstairs. But make sure you have a baby monitor so you can hear when sleeping beauty needs you (and you should be the only one traipsing upstairs every now and then to make sure the baby is OK).

3) Make them their favorite snack. Sit them down at the table or in front of the TV and make them a mess free snack, like carrots or Goldfish.

4) Read them books or make up your own story. Kids love to listen to stories, so let them pick out their favorite books to have you read to them while they enjoy their snacks. Or, put on a TV show on mute and have them make up their own dialogue to it. Quietly, of course.

With these activities, you’ll survive naptime and teach the kiddies new ways to have fun quietly.

I posted an ad on Kijiji, and I have a few customers. They seem pretty impressed with my experience. They also say they'd like to meet me, it's sort of like an interview. Is it better to meet at their house or at a public place, like a coffee shop. I was thinking if it was at their house, I can get familiar with their place.... HELP ME!




Hey girlie. First, you need to talk to your Mom about it. DO NOT go meet someone random without first talking to her. The first time you meet someone you've never met, you should always be in a public place. Never go to a stranger's house!

These are great ideas. Especially since the little 3-year-old I babysit is getting a baby sister! I'm so excited! (:

MOD MOD MOD!
I really need ur help! so last year my BFF, lets call her 'Nina', dumped me very suddenly and hurtfully. now, this was the girl who picked out my bat mitzvah dress, was there during my first bf/breakup and i practically lived with. i tried talking 2 her once, but all she did was glare at me. i feel so pathetic when i say this, but i really, really miss her! and im pretty sure she misses me 2, and all i want is 2 go bak in time and make things rite. Help!




I think you should try and talk to her about it. If you and her get some time alone together Im sure you could fix things. Good luck! xoxo kerra
