TTT - Play

Today's tip is a simple one.  But one that I think we need to be reminded of often, especially with leading such busy lives.  It can be easy to get caught up in the day to day stresses of life and work and getting dinner on the table and picking up the toys around the house.

Don't forget to take time to play.  Sing silly songs (and shake the sillies out).  Run around in the rain.  Jump on the bed.  Make animal sounds with your 2 year old.

Tonight, we left the dinner plates on the table, the bags from our trip unpacked and the mail unopened.  Instead, we played together and sang Old McDonald while Lukas danced and jumped on the bed.

I smiled and laughed more than I have all day.  I hope this video makes you smile and reminds you to take time out to simply play.

      I'll see what I can do! Funny you should ask that - in all seriousness he turned to me on our flight home from Michigan and said "I could totally create and do the voices for a kids show"...perhaps his new calling????
