Waiting with little kids s not easy. They are fidgety and impatient's. So, as much as we all turn to our cellphone these days, to show them pictures or to let them play apps. Sometimes, we are not prepared for that either. What I recommend is to always keep a piece of paper and a pen to purse and here are the 3 things to do to make a long week fun: One is you can play I-spy. For the little one you would say I-spy something blue and you take turns, you guess what it is until they finally figure it out. In older child you can make it more complicated. With the pen, you can draw little characters on your finger tips and tell a little story where you are using your fingers. Your kids probably haven't seen you draw on your hand before and they will be so wowed by that, that can take a long time. And then the third thing is take the piece of paper and pen and draw a little track of cars and use then use coins from your purse to move your little car around the track. And that could be a way to spend some time while waiting for food to arrive at a restaurant or waiting in line for something.
