We spent 3 hours at the park today with my mom's group. Julien played on the swings and the slides but mostly in the sand with some trucks another child brought. As soon as he got home the first thing out of his mouth was "Mom, can I play in the sand box at our house?" I was shocked. Seriously?? After almost 1-2 hours in the sand you want more? What is it about sand that results in endless imagination and play? I know we will have to have a sand box no mater where we live. I also noticed that it really wore him out. My mostly non-napper took a 2 hour nap as soon as he came inside. Sand is magic!
Later on we went for a walk with the dog and he rode his bike. I was thinking he might be too tired from the morning, but oh no. I think every 2, almost 3 year old, has an endless supply of energy. I now know that I should really be giving my child way more ways to burn this energy then he gets usually. I guess we will have to do more 3 hour park days while it is still nice out.
What are some fun ways your child burns energy?
