My kids enjoyed opening a few early Christmas gifts over the weekend. That’s how I found myself on the floor playing with Trio blocks, Legos, and other fun new toys. As I did, I thought about how being a parent definitely provides one with an excuse to do all sorts of fun things. (And some not so fun things. But, that's for another post!)
Now, I realize that I could still buy toys and play with them even if I didn’t have children, but I’m pretty certain I wouldn’t. Neither would I sit down at the table with Play-doh or coloring books. I might check out the latest Disney movie, but I’d probably wait until it was available to rent. From sledding to playing make-believe, and of course being goofy in public, my children provide me with all sorts of opportunities to be a kid once more.
I love my kiddos for many reasons and having such fun with them is definitely one of those reasons! What do you like to do with your children?
