Starting to feel at home...
What do you do during rest time?
Hello,
I am just curious and mostly looking for some new ideas but, what do you do while the children are asleep?
Lately I am soooo bored.... I normally read, watch tv etc. Any good ideas out there? Some thing crafty etc..?
Thanks

I usually record a show the night before to watch during nap - especially something that you can't watch live with the daycare like a Soap or Ellen etc
I read magazines
Clean up and snack prep takes a hefty chunk and I also fill out my daily reports for the kids about what we ate/did
and I go online or prep crafts
Some days 2 hours is just not enough !! lol

My whole main floor is used for naptime with playpens and cots, so I have to go upstairs. Most people have the children in upstairs bedrooms and they can clean and get things done at naptime, but I'm not set up that way. So I have no choice but to sit quietly and read and really enjoy quiet time.

I spend most of my time online "mentoring" others.

Yes, I clean, but that only takes me about half an hour. Then, like Reggio and some others, I surf. I NEVER get bored of the internet.  Sometimes I pretend to fold laundry while surfing, sometimes I don't. I always eat. A lot. lol
