I find myself asking the question, "Do I let them be little?"
Sometimes we get so wrapped up in LIFE we take for granted the small things.
I have learned to incorporate every day life into making memories the kids will hold in their hearts forever, all while letting them be little.
My kids love crafts, they enjoy just watching me with my crafts and doing their own. We have shared so many bonding moments and memories just sitting around the table making projects.
Homework turns into an all out family event, especially the art and science projects. Even the hubby is pretty crafty :-)
What do you do to let them be little?
What memories will they take with them when they grow up and leave home?
What kind of influence are you making?
Do you turn up the music and let loose and just dance silly with them?
Do you secretly fill water balloons just because?
Do you put down the paperwork and phone to jump on the trampoline with them and show off your skills?
Are you spontaneous and drop everything to go down the slide into the pool just to hear them giggle and cheer you on?
Do you unleash your best Super Hero moves and fight their imaginary battles?
Do you bust out silly rhymes and dance silly jigs just to see them smile?
Do you use your Internet browsing downtime to find cute hair styles and nail polish designs just for your daughter? And turn it into memories?
Do you wake them up with donuts from the local shop just because?
Do you take crazy pictures and laugh at them later?
Do you bust out the sidewalk chalk for fun?
Do you show them your best shadow puppet skills?
Do you tuck them in at night?
Do you say I love you every chance you get?
Do you let them "sleep in the middle?"
I do!
And let me tell you the rewards are endless!
"Let them be little cuz they are only that way for awhile."
