BIGS, So you've done everything there is to do with your Little and you can't think of anything new? What to do? Ask your Little to make a list of 10 things that he/she would like to do while you are together. Then you make a list also. At your next outing, compare the lists and do the things that you both wrote down. Then after you do all that...go ahead and do the things that you both wrote down individually. You may be surprised how much you and your Little enjoy the new activities. Sometimes people think they won't like doing something even though they've never tried it.
Here is a list of local activities and places you could visit with your Little:
