"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks Cindy! I found the one we used when she was a baby which only have the battery life for a couple of hours. So it's not ideal, but it will work for now. ltc is both very anxious not getting enough physical activity.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Who's that, Theo?

That is such great news, Cindy!!

Good luck, sj. I was thinking about an old phone maybe? But I always get a new phone when the old batter craps out, so maybe not.

Thanks Jess, she would play with it endlessly. She's obsessed with phones.

I don't know what options are available to you right now. I remember being able to see my kids' anxiety when they didn't get out enough. It's so hard.

Thanks, Cindy. TCG does his best to take her out on her bike several times a week for a couple of hours at a time, but I really can't do much myself. I can't keep up with her in an outdoor setting. I did get a water splash thing for the backyard, and I'm hoping I can get TCG to set that up this weekend so I can sit outside while she splashes in the water. Her bathing suits might as well get some use this summer.

So all the therapists suggestions are making things so much worse tonight. And yes I know it's not going to be a quick fix and we have to stick it out, but I'm so exhausted right now.

The splash toy should help. I usually envy everyone with little ones, but not in Covidia.

If there's room for it, you maybe can have her race herself in the back yard, too. "I bet you can't run from the steps to the fence in 15 seconds"

"Oh excellent! Can you do it even faster? I bet you can't!"

"You did it! You're so fast. How many times can you do it?"

If there's not room for that, then "How many jumping jacks can you do in a row?" In other words, run her little bottom off, while you time her on some app (which I'm sure must exist), or count, or whatever.

After there is a vaccine, I'm dropping this kid off with her grandparents for a week.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

dance videos? or kid exercise ones? I'll look for some she could watch and do on tv.

I'm sorry it is rough tonight.
