Good friends of mine would like a reprieve so they can have their anniversary dinner. I've been a camp counsellor and was pretty good at it but those kids were all 6 years old, this one is 13 months old. Adorable kid but I figure maybe some folks here might have good ideas/thoughts/suggestions/crass jokes?

At 13 months, just started to walk. Every single thing is new. Go for a walk, go to the park. Go to the back yard. Just bring a diaper bag and lots of snacks.

You really can't go wrong, anything is a toy and everything goes in their mouth.

Good luck

“Everything goes in their mouth” is the easiest way for things to go wrong.

Don’t turn your back on them for a second.
