I've got a 2.5 year old. I find myself being bored with him. I really don't what to do with him. I'm wondering of fun and different things I can do with him. I was thinking of taking him to the beach to play with the sand, go window shopping, play ball outside.. Any good ideas?
Answer
My daughter is just barely two and she loves (and has for a while) going to the beach, you can get beach toys at the dollar store or cheapies at walmart. (watch for throwing sand), coloring, finger painting, get one of those plastic blue pools for like $10 at walmart or toys are us, put a couple inches of water in it and sit outside and let him splash, my daughters newest favorite thing is going to the movies, we've seen Shrek, Toy Story 3, and Marmaduke.. All very cute and she sat still through the whole thing, just make a big deal out of how you have this special day planned, take him for an ice cream, let him help you cook (make ur own pizzas) or bake some cupcakes, walk around a mall. My daughter loves stickers.. building towers with blocks.. teaching numbers or abc's

Please help me overpack for camping with a toddler?
Alyssa and
My mom insists on a family camping trip this summer with all my siblings and step-siblings and stuff. That is all well and good, but she wants it to be for 5 whole days, which is just excessive with a toddler in tow.
I'm not a fan of camping, we never went camping when I was a kid... what on earth will I need for my daughter and I for 5 days/4 nights of camping?
Please, help me make a list of every possible thing we could need. I'd rather have too much and lug it around then be without. My daughter is 19 months old.
Suggestions for bug spray stuff, first aid, clothes, all that, please.
