Parents, a question:
At what age did your kid first:
1) Say "I'm bored"?
2) Act bored?
This question brought to you by us noticing that at the age of 2 years 8 1/2 months, the Junebug has not yet complained of being bored, or even acted bored. I'd like to think that this is because we fill his days with mentally-stimulating, age-appropriate activities. And in truth probably some of it is because he goes to day care where he is surrounded by other kids and they really do all kinds of activities. But he also spends plenty of time hanging around the kitchen or living room while we're cooking or feeding Rocket, or hanging around our bedrooms while we're doing laundry, or waiting for buses or trains, or sitting in the car, or what have you. And he never has any trouble amusing himself. If all else fails there is always spinning around and around until you get dizzy.
Last night we were at the bus stop and he bent over to pick a stick up off the ground and announced delightedly "Look! A stick!" then danced around with it. I am going to miss the hell out of this phase when it is over.
