Here I am working from home while Sandy rages outside my window. It's warm and cozy, and my 8-year-old is quietly amusing himself with an iPod. But I can't help wondering how different things would be if he were still a high-energy toddler. Would he be bouncing off the walls at this point? What are parents doing with their little ones right now? Well, hopefully you planned ahead and filled your toddler's room with helium balloons so you could just throw him in and shut the door. What's that -- you didn't get the helium balloons? Wow, you are so screwed. No, you know what? It's going to be fine. I think we can come up with a few other ideas for your cabin-fever toddler.![]()
