Bored in the same routine!!

My son is 8 almost 9 months and I’m so bored of the same routine everyday. I feel like he’s getting bored too! We go on a walk everyday, sensory class once a week and then just normal play time during the day. It’s the play time that’s getting boring. We sit in his room and play with the same toys everyday.

Can't get my 18.5-month-old boy to let go of anything shaped like a stick (marker, straws, spatula, pegs). He will hold it for hours until he falls asleep and I pry it from his fingers. Does anyone else experience this? Is this a boy thing?

We want to buy him a drum set but are afraid he will never release the drumsticks (musically inclined kid). Please comment on things your toddler won't let go of once they have it.

Christmas trees

And decorations in general! What is everyone doing? My little boy’s idea of a fun time is throwing and knocking over things so I’m apprehensive about having a Christmas tree this year. Especially as we usually have a real one. Any ideas? Not sure having one high up will work well either because we very much enjoy c...

Toys/activities

I’ve just come to the conclusion that my daughter is completely bored of the toys she does have. And realistically she really hasn’t got anything new and exciting since Christmas time. She tends to just self soothe most of the day by rocking on her hands and knees instead of playing. It’s kind of concerning to me bu...

Are they worth it?

Are stationary activity centers with it? She already has a high chair, two swings , a bumbo seat, and a play pen also a walker. Should i just save money and just add toys to the Play Pen or just get an activity set?
