[QUOTE="Jungleland, post: 161908, member: 4598"] Oh BBK, I feel your pain! Aly is sooooo like that. If every second isn't accounted for, planned out for total entertainment, life is NOT fun around here. It's even worse if plans have to change due to weather or no $$ or whatever. UGH!!!! Not fun!! So, when I moved here to the horse ranch, my place is TINY! I got rid of tons of stuff, or husband is storing it for me. So, when she is here, I do have alot of arts/crafts stuff we can do, I love to do that with her, but other than a bunch of old bikes and several playgrounds AND lots of horses, she is pretty much having to use her imagination more. I NEVER thought she'd be able to to that. Heck, J is already much better at entertaining herself than Aly has ever been. But, I am noticing that she is trying to do more things on her own or including J or her sisters in games of tag, hide-n-seek or what have you. They do get to spend alot of time with the horses, thank the good Lord! She loves to muck stalls, brush the horses, pick their feet, etc. And now we have the new puppy, so she is in heaven when she is here and teaching him how to walk on a leash and to sit, etc. We are starting to limit their TV time, thinking that was keeping her from being more creative, and I think it is working, a little bit. We shall see when it gets too hot in the summer to be outside, I think I will allow more movie watching. I feel you and I sympathyze!!!! Hugs, Vickie [/QUOTE]
