Ships Across the Ocean - Avery Style

Well it’s spring in Minnesota again, warm and sunny one minute and cold and rainy the next. Because toddlers don't really understand, it's raining or it's too cold to go out and play, I was a little worried how a week forecasted with low temps and rain would go for a little boy who loves to be outside. It did rain and it was cold most nights this week and it did in fact keep us in. But to my surprise Avery didn't really seem to mind, and we found other ways to keep busy. For example Avery adapted a classic school yard game to keep himself entertained, Ships Across the Ocean, became Stroller Across the Living Room.  The game is very simple. Step One: mom needs all her trunk room in the Jeep so the stroller has come in the house. Step Two: Push folded stroller into the living room from the kitchen. Step Three: Call for mom until she comes to reposition the stroller in the room for maximum rolling space. Step Four: (This it where it gets fun) Sit in the basket area of the still folded stroller and use your feet to roll yourself across the living room.  

Step Four: Rolling Across the Room

Step Five: Get out and push the stroller back across the living room.

Step Five: The Return Trip

Step Six: Repeat Step Four & Five, over and over!
It so funny to walk into the living room and see him doing this, he was just as happy as can be, and very proud of his new game. Such a silly boy we have!
