Since my wife has has been put on bed rest for the next month in hope she will stabilize and stop being so sick. I have gotten most of the next month off, well not really I am watching the kids and trying to keep them entertained so mama can get the rest she needs.
I have been trying to find stuff for the kids to do and the other day we went and just did a bunch of window shopping what a disaster, I was ready to put them both in a bucket of water with their hands tied behind their back. Then yesterday we went to a friends house in Tooele and that went well. The kids had a blast. So today I tried something new we went to the rock wall in Ogden my youngest (20 months) was not able to do much but play on the bouldering mats, but my eldest ( 4 on June 10th) got to climb. He was wiling to go about halfway up the wall before he decided that he wanted down I got him to climb about 5 times before he decided he wanted to stop. I even tried to bribe him to climb to the top by telling him that there was a free pass to the McDonalds for a kids meal and a afternoon in the play place it did not work but we did have fun until he decided he did not have to listen and pulled the top rope and got the figure eight knot stuck at the top that was when we were done because I am trying to get him to understand that there a consequences to his actions. Here are a few pics of him having a ball on the climbing wall.
By the way if you have any ideas to keep the little ones entertained in the Ogden Layton area please pipe up.
