Working at home with toddlers

[emandjmom]

I am a work at home mom with 2 toddlers (3 and 1), any suggestions on keeping them busy while I work?

When my twin boys were small I was a contract painter for Tom Clark Gnomes. I was always in the same room with them so I could watch them play. It is soooo hard to try to work at home and take care of them. Bless you! I would always have 2 laundry baskets full of toys they would pour them all over the floor and play for awhile,then books that they could look at and Thank Goodness for public TV and Nickeloden! I know that they shouldn't watch TV when they are so young but I always was thankful when Sesame Street or Gulla Gulla Island came on. They loved those shows along with Little Bear. Along with changing diapers,feeding,snacks, oh my I don't know how we get through this......but you will. Since I was painting they use to like to copy me. I would give them a paint brush and a jar of water and they would pretend that they were working to. (they only used water) I use to stay up late and finish my work. What type of work do you do? Is it something they could pretend that they are doing? Then you could all 3 work together. :) Let us know what you did!
