Entertaining a sick toddler while WFH

12–18 Months 👶

My 14 MO has had gastro for the past week ish. I worked from home with her two days last week and turns out I'll need to keep her home tomorrow and likely the next day. I was able to get through most of my meetings last week with TV and snacks to entertain her but she starts losing interest around the 40 minute mark.

I have a couple more meetings over the next couple days so I'll need to entertain her while I work. Any ideas to help keep her entertained while I run my meetings?

And no, I can't take sick days. I used my last one when I got gastro from her last week 😭
