It's rainy and icky outside. Your toddler is running around the house making a mess. She asks you read the SAME Dora book for the 4th time today. She won't nap. She says she's hungry and won't eat the 6 different things you've offered her. And you're still in your pajamas. Don't you wish the babysitting fairy would come take your child away? Don't pull your hair out!
Quick, strip that toddler naked. Grab the kid paints and put her/him in the dry tub. On the way in, don't forget to grab your favorite magazine that's sitting in your to be read stack of magazines. Your child gets to paint the tub walls (and herself) and you finally get to read your March Cosmo! (Disclaimer, I don't actually read Cosmo). When they're tired of painting, grab a washcloth and she gets to be a "window washer". And if you're feeling really productive, you can give them a bath afterwards.
Try it. I actually got flip through an entire issue of Marie Claire with minimal interruptions.
