things to do besides watching TV

Gio is becoming more and more interested in t.v. these days and it's freaking me out- so i'm putting ideas of things we can do together on individual pieces of paper in a box. from now on when he asks to watch dora or diego, i'll let him choose a random piece of paper from the box, and we'll do watever is on that piece of paper. i expect each day to be an adventure starting now.

here is the inital list of ideas that i came up with just now - please send me more, i will add them and you can be part of our fun.

  • make a 30 second movie about gio's feet
  • draw pictures of dinosaurs
  • make up a story about the first word that comes to mind
  • make a 30 second movie about the first word that comes to mind
  • take pictures of chui and mona
  • take pictures anything you want
  • make a 3 scene comic
  • look at the visual dictonary
  • play guitar
  • make a card for someone you love
  • go for a walk (even if it's raining)
  • dance party!

since I mostly think about food:
make a pizza together- roll out dough and play with it and put all the yummy toppings on it.
tear up lettuce leaves for salad.
plant some seeds in the yard for "gios garden"?

BTW, I actually sent him a little something I got for him in El Salvador today. Tell him crazy aunt Molly loves him. She loves you too!
