Our self contained classroom students have loved it when we borrow “rubber dots” from the gym teacher. We get 4, lay them on the floor, and place each hand and foot on an individual dot. (Works best on carpet!) We then sort of “bear walk” through the classroom. Kind of a “hand hand, foot foot” maneuver. It’s a super great ab workout, and we make up stories as we go along. “Oh, we are polar bears and we are searching for fish to eat! Let’s go to the water! Oh no, the ice is melting, we have to get to a new ice float! Oh look; there are penguins! Let’s go check ‘em out!”

Oh you just gave me the idea of using “I’m going on a bear hunt” and my favorite is to make a play from Goldilocks and the 3 bears. Have the children set out doll or baby blankets for 3 beds, a table set with bowls and spoons from the play kitchen area, and if you have plants, set them up for the forest area, 3 chairs. And for the broken chair, lay a child’s seat on its side. Each time you play, let the children exchange rolls. Tell the story first. And watch the video to give them the visualization.

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together.

I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

Hi Fellow Moms/Wives!❤️
Very taboo question.

Anyone else have a hubby with a very low sex drive? I initiate most of the time and it really makes me feel neglected. I have talked to him about it but I think we just have different views on how to feel connected? I think once every 2 weeks is harsh. I prefer 3x-4x a week but he says that is a lot. Am I crazy to expect of this?
