[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 661252, member: 1550"] He is really hard to entertain as he is a wiz with all video equipment and can use it like a pro and his father (cough, Bart) very much spoils him. So he lives in electronics fantasy land and is also a very intelligent boy...with extra energy. I want to do things with him that he isn't used to, but that will still keep him occupied. It will be probably 90 degrees with humidity outside so outdoor activities with water are ok, but only with water...lol. I can barely stand Wisconsin summers!!! I do plan on cooking with him. Junior is very creative and intellectually advanced for his age and gets bored quickly. I want to make this a good visit as he is TOO smart for his own good and knows from overhearing everything that is going on with his mother's plan to move him out of the school district (Bart is going to court soon on a motion to change residential custody as he is in the school district. He has already filed a motion to prevent ex from moving so she can't go anywhere yet). He has a good lawyer. Ex's lawyer that she used last time for the custody battle used Bart's lawyer of THIS round as his divorce attorney, which I think is a riot. He must respect Bart's attorney too. To date, ex has no attorney and not much money, but...her family has money. We'll see if they help out, but they won't help as much as Bart's father will. But Junior has the nervous energy of me and my son. And he is aware that something is going on and is very nervous. Every time he has to leave Bart, he clings to him and cries and says, "Please get me after school. I want to go home with you." We already have a weird type of hide and go seek and a pillow fight planned, which we did last time.I don't want to just sit and watch him play videogames. Any suggestions? Board games that are current that I may not know about? Board games about videogame characters? He is my little lovebug and I want him to know how much I love him. I'm going for five days next week and...ok, here's a vent. Last time we went they canceled my train home. Canceled it. I had to leave early. This time they canceled my train home again. Yep. Same thing. This is on the way back to Chicago. I have to get to the train station at 4:45 to board a bus to go to another city to board a train to get to the train station in Chicago just to board another train to get home to Mid-Wisconsin. I just saw BuddhaBaby last week and now I get to see Junior next week. Honestly, nothing says love like a Grand. [/QUOTE]
