quiet time idea for today ( your little one could be featured on disney junior!) #disneyjuniormom

The days are getting busy, aren’t they mamas? You’d think with school coming to an end and activities wrapping up there would be more down time to just chill on the deck with a book while the kids play in the pool, but somehow we’re still go-go-go all the time! Which is why I so deeply enjoy our very much needed daily quiet time! My 2.5 year old naps and my 4.5 year old usually spends his time catching up on favorite shows or apps. (Have you checked out the list of Disney Junior apps? The Jake one is great and it’s a freebie!)

For quiet time I’ll set Aidan up on either my macbook or ipad and he navigates himself through the Disney Junior website (it’s incredibly kid-user friendly.) He can switch from games to videos and back again without every getting lost. Occasionally he’ll click on an ad, but at least those are kid-friendly too!

Usually I push for the quieter shows, like Stella and Sam since it’s always a guaranteed winner for winding down after a busy morning or a long day. I love that it encourages imagination and it helps that Sam is 4 years old so Aidan can identify with him and his never ending list of questions about everything just like Sam 🙂
