Thanks so much, those are some great ideas...i esp like the balloon, and easy lunch stuff. I hadnt thought of those. :)
Small activites you can do while sitting like coloring, watching a movie or tv, you can even go to the room he normal plays in and bring a chair to sit in or a blanket to lay on the floor so you can still keep an eye on him/her. I also recommened picking up really simple things to eat such as lunchables, cereal, and simple sandwiches for dinner. Blowing up a balloon and hitting it back and forth seems to keep kids busy and happy. Hope this helps some....:/
