- Find the pivot point from where I can move into a career of low level programming eventually. First stop is probably going to be a data engineer.
- Find activities that both my boy and I enjoy. So far I haven't found many so I'm frustrated. Hopefully this improves this year as he grows up.
- Maybe swim more? I really hate physical exercises but swimming is a rare exception.
Do you want ideas? If so, how old's your boy and what have you tried?
- Riding snow sled;
- Reading books;
- Playing toys
I guess the real issue is on my side because I don't enjoy physical activities, while babies of this age typically need a lot of physical activities and "reading" is essentially just punching at the books and looking at the pictures, plus the books are pretty boring for any adult.
When reading, do not multitask and try to make sure you discuss all details (how many stars, where is the moon, let's count the frogs, etc.)
Perhaps you yourself would enjoy "My Very First Book of Shapes" better, where the baby needs to match real life objects with abstract shapes (e.g., wagon/rectangle, sun/circle). Should be able to do it in a few months give or take.
