Good friends of mine would like a reprieve so they can have their anniversary dinner. I've been a camp counsellor and was pretty good at it but those kids were all 6 years old, this one is 13 months old. Adorable kid but I figure maybe some folks here might have good ideas/thoughts/suggestions/crass jokes?

Play with those soft duplo stacking blocks. Play with stuffed animals. Build a fort. Sing songs. Piggyback rides. Read colorful thick page toddler books. Puppet shows. Snack time. Dance to music.
