So I'm 7 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. Most days, morning sickness isn't too awful and I can still function and play the same way I would if i wasn't pregnant, but today I feel like I'm going to hurl constantly. Just wondering what types of activities you'd suggest to keep and almost 2 year old entertained so I can relax for a little? Thanks in advance!
Coloring, set out a bunch of different toys for them to choose, a movie later, play dough, finger paints, Legos, books.. Those are a few things we do. I have a 2 year old and 4 year old, so my 4 year old really helps when I'm not feeling well, but as for yours by them self that's what I would do.
My LO loves our bed, so if I told him that Mama needed to lie down for a little bit - he would come with me and just hang out. Obviously it doesn't last very long - but I'll take 20 min! Otherwise, laying on the floor with them - sharing a pillow and reading books.
Elmo! Bubble Guppies! A movie if they will sit that long.
Turn on the sprinkler and let your LO run through while you sit/lounge in the shade.
I either lay on the floor while we play together or we sit and read books or watch movies. I can't really get away with much else because he will not let me have a minute alone and he's almost 20m.
Currently she's still obsessed with the Easter rice bin I put together, but she does like her bean and trucks bin a lot too. You may have to bust out the vacuum when they are done but at fairly easy clean up.

I've been sick enough that I let my oldest (about 2 at the time) sit in the bathroom while my head was in the bowl and empty a box of tissues. He loved it lol.
