[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 48256, member: 393"] Vickie, Lots & lots of activity to burn off steam. Personally, I'd recommend a lot of time outdoors. While wm was still living here we would take him to a park called chutes & ladders. It's a huge nonstop climbing park. Tired the boy out. Anticipate that he will ask for movies that include the latest & greatest of super heroes. I would bet he has the latest trading cards as well. Can husband work with this little guy one on one? These boys so need a positive male role model. A bit of woodworking? Just thinking out loud here. Another thought from a personal side. Sometimes it's hard for the parent/caregiver to compete after a weekend of respite. While you want your visitor to have fun - it can be difficult for the child to wind down; settle in to the "real world" after a weekend of nonstop activity. Make sure that your visitor has chores & routine mixed in with the fun. Help the parents at the other end transition the child home. Good luck with the weekend. [/QUOTE]
