Another challenge is that the more mobile he gets and the more swelling he gets, the less patience I have. I've tried to just bite my tongue and do some deep breathing because I know how hard this is on him but it's really hard to do that sometimes.
With all these challenges, I thought that maybe we could break up the monotony and have a teeny tiny bit of fun. I took him on a very short wagon ride down the street and then we blew bubbles. Tevon's Godmother, Katie, sent him a few care packages and inside one were some crayola bubbles. They were pretty cool. I've never seen bubbles with so much color. Like, you had to be careful not to get it on your clothes because it could stain them. They were really purple! When they popped on our faces you can see the purple. Tevon loved watching them pop. But just like a seven-year-old he tried to get too crazy so it didn't last long.
Another activity that his Godmother sent were those colored papers where you scratch off the black top layer. Tevon was so amazed by them. It came with four different papers and he did all four almost immediately because he thought they were so neat.
We started making some rock candy which this stage only took about 5 minutes. Lol! He has checked it constantly.
As a last effort we tried playing Connect4. It worked!!!!! The child sat still for like an hour and a half playing Connect4. Which, the fact that he at still that long was like a miracle.
Thankfully, we now have cable and wifi because I really don't think either of us would have made it through without it. He has watched a ton of Disney channel and ran the battery down on his iPod like twice a day from playing so much. The DSI has really got a lot of attention lately too.
