Well, its been almost four weeks since the young one went on school holidays for the year and dear god! I don't know how other parents do this. I think that most tiring part of being home with him every day is just the amount of watching he needs!
So far we have been to the swimming pools. It was good in the sense that it helped Tricksy work off his excess energy.Not so good that I had to run lengths of the pool making sure he didn't try to drown any of the other children!
We went to the museum, which was good, the beach which was a disaster because he had a meltdown when I had to get him home. We've spent many a day just at home, him on his trampoline and me watching with a book in hand.
In saying this, we dropped Tricksy off with his mother a couple of days ago for a few weeks and felt very guilty when we left as he was really not pleased at us leaving him. Not because he didn't want to see his mother, but because he wanted to see his grandmother more! We had ahd to drive past his grandmothers house on the way to drop him off and as soon as we went past? He threw a tantrum but there was not alot we could do about it so had to listen to him screaming for 15 minutes at full lung capacity.
Dropping him off was guilt inducing and he is still on my mind alot but it's been nice. I've cleaned my house (YAY!) and just relaxed with a friend and while he's still on my mind Im enjoying the space as much as I can.
