[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 36680, member: 1697"] My oldest sleeps a LOT.........and writes poems.....and makes jewelry. She has also thrown herself into enjoying the new kittens we got in Jan. Turns out she is quite a mother hen. My easy child teen is so busy working and doing schoolwork and volunteering, I cannot imagine how she keeps up. When she DOES have a slow day, she likes to cook. and she is learning how to knit. My youngest, my son? WHen he was recovering post eye surgeries, he did a lot of drawing. He also likes to use chalk out on the patio, driveway and sidewalk. Even at age 11 (will be 12 tomorrow) he still enjoys the sandbox. He also likes to learn magic tricks and card tricks etc. (and yes he loves Legos, KNex, and magnetix, and my older kids also enjoy doing that with him) when he was post surgical for months the surgeon refused to let me allow my son to ride his bike or play outside.....so we diid try hard to think of "calmer" activities. To my surprise, my son also loves to watch Alton Brown and "Unwrapped" and "the Secret Life of...." on FoodNetwork. He also likes "How do they make that" and Mythbusters. I think those are on discovery or TLC? ANd he still loves to play with his hot wheels cars and car tracks and trains and train tracks.....and will make elaborate set ups that span most of our house! (and incorporating many non toy things thruout the house0 He also likes to lounge and play in the tub, all 3 of my kids love to be IN water or near water and this includes tasking very very very long baths.
