Running in circles. Climbing on me. Climbing on everything. Elbowing me in the tit. Sitting on his sister’s head. Kneeing daddy in the crotch. Chasing the cat. Throwing toys. Breaking everything he can get his little hands on. Trying to hold everything he owns at once. Playing with trash right next to the brand new toys I got him. Breaking the brand new toys I got him, but keeping the trash in tact. Toy cars and Kids YouTube videos about toys cars.

We go to a local gym for kids that has toddler classes. They also make a small trampoline that they can jump on and get energy out. Making easy meals that they can help you cook (like stirring the cheese into Mac n cheese, putting their own toppings on pizza). Playing silly games like Simon says or those wiggles songs. Going for a walk. Also check Amazon for like Montessori/school type items. I just got one pack that’s colors, counting, math, matching, etc that was pretty cheap. Giant roll of paper from a craft store and finger/foot painting on it. I have just taped a piece almost width wise of my living room and let my kids step all over it. Shaving cream (or whipped cream) with food coloring to mix/make colors. Making homemade play doh that’s warm. Tissue paper and sheets of sticky paper to decorate and then you can cut out shapes and put them in a window to look like stained glass kinda. Building forts and having a picnic lunch under them. Going outside with a small bottle of coke and a couple mentos (cause what kid doesn’t love explosions). Grinding Cheerios into sand and making a mini sand table, could also use food coloring to color the sand. Acting out books as you read them (like going on a bear hunt) just pretending to be different animals and making animal noises. Homemade Rice Krispies and cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Freeze dance (like freeze tag where you randomly shut off the music and freeze then dance again when it comes on). Put some food dye into water balloons and then freezing them, they make really cool colorful egg shapes but you’ll probably have hulk or smurf hands for the rest of the day. I hope there’s something here you haven’t done that’ll help.

Going into my fridge and freezer all day, not listening, playing on the stairs. Attacking her sister, punching people. Hanging out in my window, not wearing clothes, being “afraid” of her baby brother. Talking back, wanting her hair done just to pull it out. And Cocomelon… so much cocomelon.
