- I’m trying to get her potty trained.
- I’m trying to teach her dental hygiene … she hasn’t quite mastered brushing her teeth and she has a mouthful of them.
- She’s getting to be a picky eater and dinner time is usually a battle.
- I’d like to teach her to help with picking up her toys.
- I’m in the process (I hope to have it completed by the end of this weekend) of building a learning area upstairs where I am going to start teaching her basic things (ABC’s, counting, animals & sounds, colors, etc.) to go along with her once-a-week-Mother’s-Day-Out class that we pay for just for socialization purposes.
- I’d like to get her to enjoy cooking with me (easy things like cookies).
- Read A Book
- Have A Tea Party
- Go For A Wagon Ride
- Swing & Slide Outside
- Help Mommy Bake Something
- Play A Game
- Color
- Have A Picnic In The Backyard
- Make A Card For Someone
- Paint Your Toes
- Blow Bubbles
- Draw On The Driveway With Sidewalk Chalk
- Learn A New Song
- Go Out For Ice Cream
- Swim In The Backyard (Kiddie pools start at around $10 at Wal-Mart)
- Pick Flowers
- Build A Fort In The Living Room
- Draw On The Bathtub Walls With Bath Crayons At Bath Time
- Take A Bubble Bath (you can add, “In Mommy & Daddy’s {garden} tub if you have one for extra excitement ~ makes them feel like they are in a special swimming pool in the house)
- Stay Up An Extra 30 Minutes (or 1 hour, my 2 year old doesn’t understand the concept of time yet so 30 minutes is plenty for her)
- $1 For My Piggie Bank (she has to put this in her piggie bank to save … until she’s old enough for me to teach her about money, I’m not letting her have any of this money).
- Get A New Toy (set a price limit of $5 or $10 … at the resale shop, that way it’s easy to find something under your limit)
