When my granddaughter comes here I only have wooden bricks and a wooden farm set and the piano but she thinks these are great and they keep her amused for hours.

I think that the only way to really get a routine going is to adapt what she has for your situation.<br /><br />God bless.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051183778965359500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-7824829719426280512017-05-19T13:18:13.044-07:002017-05-19T13:18:13.044-07:00Yes, I too had very little in comparison to LB tod...Yes, I too had very little in comparison to LB today. I have to put my hands up and admit to overindulging her at times. I'm paying for it now.<br /><br />I can remember having so few books that I read any that happened to be on our book shelf or that belonged to my sisters, just to be able to read. My daughter has lots of books, but doesn't seem too interested in reading many of them sadly.<br /><br />As for toys, I had one panda bear, one or two dolls with a few accessories, a handful of games and that was about it.<br /><br />I too was lucky enough to have a swing in the garden and a bike and I spent most of my time playing outside or down at the local park. Life is very different for children today. Not always better I think sometimes.<br /><br />My daughter said today that if she had a child she wouldn't buy so many toys, which is a blessing I guess. At least she's learnt from my mistakes as a parent.johnnyjumpsuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474137444822527332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3497889514720788230.post-7837098086313368732017-05-19T11:16:40.043-07:002017-05-19T11:16:40.043-07:00Phew - I am rather worn out just reading this I fe...Phew - I am rather worn out just reading this I feel I have been cleaning with you!! But doesn't it feel good to get a room clean and tidy - I think it must be the fact that we have so much more stuff these days that makes clearing and cleaning a room so more difficult and time consuming. I remember at home we only had a few books (not the library I have now) no shower cubicle only a bath, no CD's DVD's or the like and far fewer clothes and shoes in the wardrobe. When very young I had a couple of dolls and a teddy stored in a dolls pram - no pile of soft toys on the bed, a few games and books, a weekly comic (never any free gifts) and I played on my swing in the garden or built dens in the wood - most of my childhood was spent outdoors not in my bedroom so I expect my mum was able to keep it much tidier then.<br />After your great efforts this week I hope you have enough energy left to enjoy the weekend and the birthday celebrations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
