Never Say Never: KP Been There Done That Squad
Feb 09 2012
Posted by Elizabeth as Adventures in Parenting, Been There Done That
We’ve all been there, I’m sure.
When I am a parent, I will never _fill in the blank_!
And I guarantee that you have been wrong. At least some of the time…
Here’s where the KP Been There Done That Squad has been wrong, too.
Jes, I said I would never drive a mini van, as a parent, but I was wrong.
Elizabeth, I said I would never “shush” my kids because their sibling was sleeping. Baahahahahaha!!!! I also said I wouldn’t have my children in my bed… I’m pretty sure that there is maybe one morning a month when we don’t wake without at least one of our kids (6, 4 and 2) somewhere in there…
Melissa, I said I would never say “because I said so”, as a parent, but I was wrong. My mom always used that phrase with me when I was little and was challenging her with questions, sure enough my four year old daughter is just as inquisitive as I was at that age and in moments of complete exhaustion I have used that phrase, much to the amusement of my Mother!
Francy, I said I would never let my toddler watch tv, but he does!
Danica, I said I would never push aside their questions or say ‘because I said so’ if they asked for a reason. I don’t do these things often, but must confess that I do give in, especially in moments of frustration.

Family Time- Screenless Edition:
Been There Done That
Jan 23 2012
Posted by Elizabeth as Adventures in Parenting, Been There Done That, Family Time
January 22nd to 28th is Unplug and Play Week in Kamloops.
There are lots of terrific events happening in town.
Click on the image to see a bigger version. All the events are also posted within the event calendar and will be updated from time to time on the facebook page!
We asked the Been There Done That Squad some of their favourite screenless acitivities and they answered…
Elizabeth
We love playing games together while we sit around the table or on the living room floor. We also love giving our kids mini manicures or petite pedicures. Watching them giggle and squirm as they have their little toes tickled while their hands and feet are rubbed and treated never ceases to make my heart happy. Our total favourite, though… having wild dance parties in our living room. Throw in a package of glow sticks, crank the tunes and we always have a great time and get our bodies movin’!
Angela
Playing board games or going to watch a sporting event. Now that the littlest ones are just a bit older, I would like to take in more local sports this year.
Francy
Elliott loves to visit the downtown library, pick as many books as he can imagine, and sit in the family corner to read.
Alison
Our favourite non-screen time activities can be split into home, and outings. At home, we love to play games, whether it’s hide and seek, or M is teaching K to play chess! For outings, we love the climbing gym, swimming, or just browsing the books at Chapter’s.
Do you want to join the KP BTDT Squad? Just email elizabeth@kamloopsparents.com to join in for next month!
