My favourite part about New-Years is all of the countdowns and “top 10 \/ top 100” lists.\u00a0 So here’s my top 10 list of things a stay-at-home\u00a0parent of a Toddler can’t live without.<\/p>\n
I would love to hear what tops your list for staying sane!<\/p>\n
10. TV.\u00a0 Specifically, Treehouse and Disney Junior.\u00a0 Kyle’s current favourites are the Mickey Mouse Club, 4 square and roll play.\u00a0 Both channels are also available on-demand from our cable tv provider<\/a> :)*<\/p>\n 9. Three-wheel stroller for walks outside in the snow during the LONG winter months.<\/p>\n 8.\u00a0Music to jam out to and dance to\u00a0(instruments are an added fun). Kyle is\u00a0currently perfecting\u00a0the “knee-bend” dance and has surpassed his dad’s dancing ability.<\/p>\n 7. Magazines – quick read when\u00a0Kyle is\u00a0playing by himself.\u00a0 My current favourites are Toronto Life, Chatelaine and People.\u00a0 You can’t be too diverse, I know!\u00a0 Also, I read that it’s good for your children to see you reading, any form of media, so there’s an added bonus there (and no, reading a computer screen doesn’t count unfortunately).<\/p>\n 6. Friends who are on mat-leave \/ other\u00a0stay-at-home moms.\u00a0 Playdates are so\u00a0KEY for both toddler and parent!<\/p>\n 5. Toddler books – keep\u00a0Kyle entertained for hours!<\/p>\n 4. Variety of toys for hours of playtime.\u00a0 Kyle’s current favourites are:\u00a0indoor slide, trucks, cars, blocks, miniature animals,\u00a0balls, and workbench and tools.<\/p>\n
