It has only just begun.........summer is a week underway, and I am hearing the boredom statements already. Now mind you the pre-teen has a broken foot so many activities are out for her at the moment. The 3 year old seems to need entertained..........at all times!!!! and the baby (ahem, toddler now-time sure does fly!) seems content to entertain and play by herself. Not always of course........but she does pretty well. But the attention of kids last about 15-20 minutes these days unless they are completely immersed in a project-------unless of course it is TV and then they can stay for hours in front of the tube.
