One concern I had when I started staying home with my little munchkin was she wouldn’t get the socialization she would need and that most kids received from daycare.
So instead, I try to plan a few fun adventures during the week with the hopes of keeping her social and in turn, tiring her out so she *hopefully* sleeps through the night.
Here’s some of our adventures from the past week:
Playing basketball, aka toss the ball, at Jungle Java…
Going for a bike trailer ride in the fresh air (with her new friend, Minnie)…
Playing with the train set at our local library…
And checking out a puppet show at Boogie Babies…

How do you keep your little one busy? Please, leave me tips!
I have the same feeling sometimes that staying home with Monkey means he doesn’t get to socialize with other kids. So I do the same, I bring him out too!
We’ve been going to a weekly gym class, and though we had a rough start, he’s really enjoying it now.
I think you’re on the right track with all the activities you’re doing with Lil K.
How does she like the bike trailer? I want to ride bikes as a family but can’t decide if I want a rear seat, trailer or front seat.
Looks like y’all are having a blast! I need to get out with my little man more often.
Looks like a fun filled week – I think you’re doing plenty! I worry about this a bit with my boy, too. My girls went to daycare and had all that socialization and they seemed 100% ready for elementary school and all its structure when the time came. My boy stays home with my husband, and he’s not out around other kids. He doesn’t know anything about a classroom setting. Of course he’s only 1. We may end up going with a pre-school in a couple years to get him ready. For right now, he gets all his socialization from his sisters and the friends they always have around.
What a busy week. I think she had a ball. No worries.
I wish that I was able to do more things like this with Andrew, but my job keeps me from being able to except on the weekends.
I’m sure that with all the activities you two go to she’s doing great!
Love all of the outings! So, so very much fun!
The photo of her in the wide brimmed hat is adorable! She looks happy to go riding!
