Let's see, there's legos...building and destroying what they've built of course and one of our favs is shooting army guys with dart guns, and there's always PBS kids! =) Your job is much more difficult, though, cause he's younger and into more stuff at that age."

And great comments! So many fantastic suggestions! I'm tweeting it to all the bed rest moms who follow http://twitter.com/KeepEmCookin and the bed rest forum at www.keepemcookin.com/aboutforum.aspx. And it's so reassuring that a day spent with mom on bed rest can be just as special as any other day! And maybe more... I love this article! And great comments! So many fantastic suggestions!

You can blow them & he can either chase them or catch them with a net/cup/bowl. You can also toss balls from the bed (beach ball, squishy ball) & have him go chase them. Hang in there!
