J.G.
I go/went to:
- the pet store (we love to look at the fish, mice, birds, etc)
- the animal shelter (my son LOVED the kittens)
- the backyard (go in for a break, back outside. Get some good toys. Go smell flowers and talk to baby about plants, trees, bushes, grass, etc)
- the grocery store
- the thrift store (cheap shopping, closer to me than other stores)
- baby/toddler story time at the library
- my mom and dad's house
- visit dad at work (coworkers love to see the cute babies!)
- just walk around Target a few times (you get out, the baby gets to see new people, a new place, but not as far as a drive as the mall - for me anyways)
I totally understand wanting to get out of the house. We leave the house probably 4 out of the 5 weekdays.
