I'm finding it funny that people think 2 years olds are fine entertaining themselves all day.
Oh sorry, with respect I completely disagree!!! I totally disagree!!! I have never ever had a child tell me they are bored because I challenge them and teach them and expect the best from them.

I have grandsons who are 2 and 3 years old who are computer/phone geniuses and I can't even keep up with them or beat them at their games. I can't keep up with them at their physical games or even the things I put out for them to play with because their imaginations blow me away! I'm the Tim Horton's drive through lady then the paramedic then the Walmart cashier then the whatever, you get my drift? Why do they know about paramedics? Because on my 911-Safety Theme Week we toured the Thames Valley Ambulance and the nearest Firehall.

As an adult I never feel bored but I can't even imagine a child feeling bored. When my children used to say 'I'm bored' as teenagers I used to tell them I had lots of dishes and vacuuming, etc. for them to do and they would scatterlike ants!!!!
