I have a new guy (8 yo) starting in a week. For the first week, I'll have him full time, after that, 4 mornings a week for 15 - 30 mins a day. My two oldest ones will already be back in school, so they won't be here at all while he's here.
It's been 12 years since I had an 8 yo boy. I've totally forgotten what they like to play with. I have tons of Legos and K'nex. Hundreds of Matchbox cars. I can ask his mom to bring his bike for that week and we can go on bike rides. Our Wii broke, so that's out. All the other gaming systems are upstairs and off limits.
What else can you do to entertain an 8 yo? He will be here alone with the 4 yo. There's an older boy down the street, but I'm not even going there.
Give me a girl and I'd be fine. I'm just learning boys as 90% of my former kids were all girls, very few boys.
