What can I do?
I have begun to weary of the question, "Mom, what can I do?" Many times a day Norah feels it necessary to ask me to come up with a plan for her next hour. Jared says it's my own fault for having good ideas and setting the bar high. My fault or not, I'm sick of it. So....
I have two plans of attack.
#1:
"What can I do" tickets. She'll get 2 a day. They will hang on the fridge and I'll require one for every suggestion I give. When she runs out, "Oh sorry honey, you're out of tickets. I'll help you come up with an idea again tomorrow."
#2:
I've begun to create an album on my iPad that has pictures of Norah's toys and various activities. Most pictures I already had - her playing Barbie, play dough creations, building a snowman etc. Now when she needs an idea she can scroll through the photos for reminders of just how many awesome options she has!
I hope this helps - I'll let you know! Any other ideas?
