Dh and I love playing tennis.
We haven't played together for ages since ds was born (now 22 months)
Ds is very happy to sit beside where we are playing tennis on the court, he wanders around, potters with things that we have given him to play with for more than an hour.
He is safe as there is a fence round the court, so he can't go off, we look over every point and check he is ok. We go over really often and say hi or comment from where we are on what he is doing. He only came onto the court twice and was slow so we stopped playing as we wouldn't want him to get hit and would never play if he came on the court.
He is really happy and happier than at home there - I think as he is outside and there are dogs and birds to watch out for beside the court (on the other side of the fence)
He played for 1hr 20 mins today, faffing with empty plastic bottles we gave him, keys, a few toys and I am just wondering are we being selfish - or if he is happily playing should we just be grateful we can do this and he is so good at entertaining himself!? Are we kind of neglecting him?
