Sometimes I forget just how little it takes to keep my son happy. This morning when putting away the groceries, Chris noticed that I had bought a new bag of popping corn and that's all it took to get him excited. I opened the bag to put it in our very fancy Tim Hortons tin and a few minutes later I had him set up with "scoops" and small cups and a tray to keep the mess under control.
Despite the amount of popcorn that did end up on the floor and then in Rosie's tummy, it kept him quiet and busy for just over an hour. All of this meant we avoided the TV for the morning and I was able to spend some time focused on playing with William.
We can have some challenging days in our house but today we had a great morning, and popcorn might be on the menu for tea today!
