The time I took to play with the kids has tapered some now that they entertain themselves, but It's the first thing I go back to when I feel like one of them is pushing their boundaires. They just need some extra attention.Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07815406495392901240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-40113397985677429012010-01-26T00:48:44.704-05:002010-01-26T00:48:44.704-05:00I stumbled across your blog, and have made it a go...I stumbled across your blog, and have made it a goal to play with my kids more this week. I have a 7 month old, 3 yr, and 2 yr old. My 2 yr old is the hard one for me. I think she may just need a little extra attention and playing time. So far so good, but I'm really going to be making an effort. I always struggle with how much time to make sure they get. I wanted to let you know you made a difference for me this week.beccahttp://www.baileybliss.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-75612287110209898872010-01-25T22:11:35.646-05:002010-01-25T22:11:35.646-05:00I just recently started reading your blog...love i...I just recently started reading your blog...love it. It is funny that you wrote this post because my "one word New Year's resolution" is PLAY. I think we all get too bogged down with the day to day tasks and take life (and ourselves) too seriously. Kids grow too fast. I was tired of saying "In a minute" and never getting to it (I am sure they were too). You are right. It is amazing how a few minutes of PLAY makes everyone happier!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-72392442417757191972010-01-25T09:55:20.034-05:002010-01-25T09:55:20.034-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.queenbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410391084375645714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-59572984166094464262010-01-23T19:06:08.340-05:002010-01-23T19:06:08.340-05:00That is a wonderful tip that we all need to be rem...That is a wonderful tip that we all need to be reminded of once in a while.

I am so happy to hear that you make it a priority. <br /><br />As my girls get older I find we spend more time talking than playing, which is great also. One on one time with mommy is always a good thing.<br /><br />Your lego village makes me smile. We have a few mini projects laying around the house at all times.

You're so right about the playing thing. A lot of times I don't even have to play with my girls...just sit down with them on the floor in front of the barbie house and they do all the talking for me. They just love for me to be close by. I've found if I do this for awhile and start the playing (like you mentioned) then if I sneak off to do laundry they'll continue and be content for quite awhile. So many great posts lately Sarah! I've had fun catching up this morning. :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807124281644480742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-92086981400037951622010-01-21T15:00:11.128-05:002010-01-21T15:00:11.128-05:00This post is bittersweet as those days are gone wi...This post is bittersweet as those days are gone with my youngest 7.
