Hang in there. It won't be long before she's having intense, driven days without needing your constant help. Once those motor skills kick in, and/or once she's reading well, she'll be going at it while you do your own thing.
While I certainly am excited for her motor skills to catch up, you know what? I'm sure I'll probably be sad then and even miss these totally intense days. That's motherhood for you...
onthegomom the zoo is wonderful! I don't always have the energy for it (and for the tantrum when we leave) but yes, two thumbs up to the zoo!
My husband skips out the door right after lunch and I throw my head down on the table, drink a strong cup of coffee, and my head starts to spin just thinking about being alone with these two boys for the next eight hours!
Yes, I drink coffee everyday. I'm not sure how I'd survive otherwise!
PMc/10applesupontop- yep, I have to admit we let her watch TV sometimes. She likes superwhy also but her true love is Dora. If I'd let her she could easily watch it the entire day and no matter what we always have a tantrum when it's shut off. She got to watch two episodes yesterday because I was so tired! You can always measure my energy levels by how often she gets to watch Dora.
She has picked up some words from it (and even some Chinese words from Kai Lan too that she watches much less). And she'll laugh at the jokes too and dance with the songs. She's a total addict.
traceyqns- we actually have a kindle. I haven't tried getting in children'S books on there.. have you tried that? I was actually just thinking about trying that the other day. It would make it so much easier for all the traveling that we do.
Good luck on teaching your DS3 the letters!
