Play

To be a kid...............


Ever since my kids found this cool train near a park in 'Old Town' they have begged to go back.  Yesterday was a good time to stop after school and just let the kids run around for a half hour before we had to get on with our day.  I was going to read but their excited conversation lured me in and I spent the whole time just watching and listening.


It takes a nanosecond for your kids imagination to take you back to your own childhood.  I remember playing dolls, barbies, legos, and just plain make-believe for hours on end.  


As stressful as life can be it's nice to just watch the innocence of children.  They had already jumped into a different world just running up to that boxcar.  Shouting out where they were and the circumstances of who they were hiding from and how they were going to escape.


It is a joy to watch.  Not only to enjoy your kids being kids.  But also for the chance to go back in time.  If only for 30 minutes.

    This is so true Marie...sometimes I go to the park with Maya and a book and most of the time I end up listening to what Maya and her little friends are talking about. I love thinking about the good old days when I was at the park without a care in the world!
