Lately, my 2 year old has been boycotting the park. He used to love the park, but for the last few days, every time he goes down there he doesn't want to stay. I have been on bed rest for the last 2 weeks so his babysitters, hubs or my mom has been trying to take him and he just doesn't want to stay. He hasn't fallen or gotten injured to my knowledge.
Hubs thinks its because I am not going with them and he only wants to stay if I am with them. That won't be happening for a few more weeks.
Anyone else deal with a park boycott?

I haven't but I wonder if bringing a new toy might help? Bubbles, sidewalk chalk or sand toys? Maybe the something novel would help him get engaged enough that he could start enjoying it more. I also wonder if they have stricter rules or interact with him differently than you so maybe it isn't as much fun?

hmmm. My LO will go to the park and immediately take off running in another direction other than the playground, but she still likes going and making us chase her. Maybe he's just bored?

@Cole: A special park toy is a good idea. I just got him some chalk for Easter so they could take that to the park and he loves bubbles. I'll suggest that to the babysitter tomorrow.
@kml636: I thought he was bored also, but we have 3 parks that are walking distance. One of them has been closed and it just opened again so I thought he would be into that park and lessen how crowded the other ones would be, but the reports I get back from everyone is that he doesn't want to stay.
I think its sweet that hubs thinks he just loyal to me, but I don't think that is it. This has been the toughest part of bed rest. We used to go to the park every day, sometimes twice a day. I wish I could go with them again. And he better get over this when baby brother gets here! Mommy wants out of the house!

@BabyBruins: my first guess was just that he misses you!
