Episode 264 - On The Boat Yard... We Make Our Own Fun!
Added 2025-09-01 11:16:20 +0000 UTCBoat yards are definitely not exciting places, most days can be hot, dirty and rather mundane! Especially for an 11yr old boy, so we try and have fun even in the simplest of ways! Join us this week with all our silly antics and share a glimpse of boring old boat life on a boatyard!

2025-09-04 19:37:34 +0000 UTCOnce again Bear proves that boys will find a way to play with anything. Last week he was playing with fake nails, this week both of your boys were playing with a pallet jack. Later Bear was playing with a plastic hook (which was quite entertaining to watch). This reminded me of an experiment I read about around 20 years ago. The theory was that boys and girls only play with certain toys because of social programing. They placed several girls in a room full of boy's toys and several boys in a room with girl's toys. When they checked on the children later they found they were half right. When they entered the room with the girls the girls told the adults to be quiet because the trucks were sleeping. When they checked on the boys they were having a gun fight. I was only reading a summary of the experiment but in what I read I noticed the girls did call their "babies" trucks but the boys did not call their "guns" dolls. They may have demonstrated that boys become more intensely immersed into their fantasy.
