Oh my goodness, six months since my last blog post! Such is the life of a mom to an energetic, 2-year-old boy. For all you other tired mamas out there, sending you solidarity.
My son has the attention span of a hummingbird. He flits from one thing to the next. This is made worse by the fact that he has never once slept through the night. We are for sure a tired household. Half our living room and kitchen have been overrun with his toys, pushcarts, cars, slide, swing — the list goes on. None of these things have held his attention for longer than 10 minutes.
Alas! There is one toy I have found that actually keeps him engaged for a good 20+ minutes and he’s never tired of it. The CUTE STONE Play Sink with Running Water from Amazon.
I set him up in an easy-to-clean area (WARNING! water will get everywhere) in the house and go about my chores while he’s happily playing along independently. 10/10 would recommend this toy. I know the reviews on Amazon say that the life of the motorized faucet is a hit or miss, and it was a miss for us, but I reached out to the manufacturer and when I confirmed that the date on the faucet was from 2023, they sent me a new one free of charge and even gave me a 20% discount.
Enjoy your 20 minutes of peace!
