Keeping the boy busy
Monday, February 9, 2009 by Angeleyes
Sometimes I am really tired of long car rides when I have to do it with my little toddler. When he was younger, he will sleep most of the way but as he grows bigger, his napping time has been cut tremendously. He will either sleep the first leg of the journey or the 2nd leg and if we were to travel from Penang to KL, the first is usually the shortest.
Since my boy is extremely talkative now, it can be quite irritating answering him for more than 2 hours on what he sees on the journey with all the same questions like 'what is that?' or 'why is that?' type of questions for more than 2 hours.
What I did now is to pack the car with lots of books so he can flip through them and a note book with a pen so he can scribble something when he is bored. Since we kept a lot of those promotional pens from previous conventions we attended or from hotel stays... we have endless supplies. :P
