Any thoughts? The K Bros (ages 2.5 and 4yo) have two weeks off of school. DrK is working/on call Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and through the weekend. So, that's 16 consecutive days that they are stuck with me. I'm hugely preggo, achy, tired, and irritable too so I'll be loads of fun. And the weather is supposed to turn awful tomorrow.
I was going to try to hit some open gym time at the rec centers but IDK if the boys can handle it. My 4yo might go berserk in an such an unstructured setting and the 2.5yo might be too small/too timid depending on who else is playing. I'm not sure how much I'll have to chase after them to manage either.
K1 has requested playdates with a couple friends; he's even gone so far as to invite friends from school/try to set it up before asking me so now I'm scrambling to hammer it out with the other moms. There is a children's museum he wants to visit. I was thinking of taking them to the movies one day and the library if I'm up to the challenge. I am trying to set up some mother's helpers who can either go with me to these things in the morning or who can entertain the boys in the afternoons when I'm worn out. If the helpers work out, I'll probably have them come back when the baby arrives.
K1 especially struggles when his time is unstructured so I'm trying to set up a schedule that will keep him busy without exhausting or frustrating me.
