Three to four year olds. Remind me. What do we do with them again?

I've been ill for the last year, so pre-school and my mum have taken care of dd2, who is 4 in January

I am now well enough - well I'm knackered, but apart from that - to look after her, and after preschool we have an hour or two each day before her big sister comes home from school to be together. She'll start school herself this time next year.

thing is, I have completely forgotten the sort of things i am supposed to do. I have been so knackered the last year, and still now, that I just end up sitting her in front of the TV. I know that I could have the energy to do other things at least some of the time if I tried, and I want to make the most of the time with her

but what do you do with them? she is older than she was. I feel like I am starting over a bit, and wondered if anyone could let me know what kind of things they enjoyed doing with their preschooler.

Oh - and her tea set.... Pop a bit of water in the teapot and a few raisins in a bowl and she can pretend tea party play for hours. You do have to pretend to be a customer though so she can take your order.

dd2 will prob be all at me and go on doing what she wants, which is usually Being A Loon

legalalien, that's hilarious. It's so funny how they get stuck on things. Would love to meet up for lunch, send me an email when you're around!
