Keeping him busy…

July 14, 2008

Last Tuesday started the summer school break of Miguel. So I have a little kiddo here while working some house chores. He often wakes up around 9AM, so I have few hours on pc before he drags me out to play. But if I have to work on pc like for instance finish online task, I have to keep him busy so he won’t disturb me for just a little time, hehe… So what I do? Let him watch TV. The thing that we don’t want him to do but no choice for me…

If it were a repeated show, he would ask for a DVD. (I asked the husband to have an HDMI switches for this so I won’t have a hard time putting back and forth the cable) …. Sometimes he would ask me to watch movies from the mac mini. So it all depends as to what his mood is as long as he’s busy while I’m doing my work.

But you know I’m so guilty of this, as I don’t want him to spend long time watching on TV. That’s why after doing my work, we play or do some art or read books. Going to playground or to the library is also one activity that we do at least once a week…

For next week, since we’ll be in Manila I’m sure he’ll enjoy playing with his cousins. At least there, he has playmates and I think I can have ME time, hehehe….
