I am sometime guilty of using starfall as DS14mo babysitter when I am burnout, but I try to limit that to less than once a week.
I hear you about sick of reading the same book over and over again. That�s why I buy new books for DS to keep me from getting bored.
We try the following, and they seem to entertain DS for a little while:
- �help� us empty the dryer and put laundry away
- give things between DH and I
- putting lego blocks together
- �mop� the floor
- puzzles (but we have to do it with him)
I personally like more structured plays, so I know what to expect next and don�t burn me out as quickly as ad hoc plays.
P.S. DS likes to read multiple books at the same time as well, but I don't let him switch between books. IMO, I want him to finish what he started. Just my 2 cents.
