Whenever she's quiet, it's usually because she's doing something she's not supposed to. Today she bit into potatoes (a few of them) and spit out peices all over the living room while I cleaned the kitchen. Just as long as its not dangerous, it's fine with me. I'll take what I can get :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-enjoy-independent-play#post-1313075 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 10:29:08 +0000 yin 1313075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO plays very well independently. With little brother in the picture, he doesn't like to play by himself and would rather have my undivided attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-enjoy-independent-play#post-1313060 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 10:25:52 +0000 littlek 1313060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he goes back and forth. He will play by himself for like an hour and then he will bring his bucket of blocks over and want DH and I to build with him. Oh and he loves chasing the dog. Not sure if that's independent play or not. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-enjoy-independent-play#post-1313015 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 10:12:04 +0000 Bao 1313015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She used to love it, now all the sudden she's been very clingy! Just a phase I'm sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-enjoy-independent-play#post-1313007 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 10:09:21 +0000 hilsy85 1313007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is actually really good at it--although like your LO, it sometimes means he's doing something he shouldn't! That's one way I knew he was feeling better today--he was content puttering around the apt instead of wanting to be held. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-enjoy-independent-play#post-1312988 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 10:06:22 +0000 mrsjyw 1312988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS loves it! Especially when he's up to all the things we don't want him to do! (playing by coffee tables, grabbing the wooden stick in our back door! crawling behind the couch and picking up crumbs, etc.)</p> <p>He also loves playing with his LP farm and whatever current fave toy in his play area... and right now he's currently gathering a pile of books to flip through.</p> <p>I love that he loves it, but I also have mommy guilt time to time that I should be interacting with him more.</p> <p>Today, I am okay because DH and I've both been home the last few wks and spent lots of quality time with DS, so I feel ok watching him play and enjoying my coffee. </p>
