I'm just curious to see how many of you guys play with your kids? When I say play, I mean really get down and play on their level on a regular basis. Whenever we go to kiddie places, we seem to be the only ones and this makes me sad. So I want to hear from all the people that play with their kids!

 oceans mom 14th May
I'm
so
glad
to
see
all
of
these
people
playing
with
their
kids!!
I
crawl
around
after
my
son
and
tickle
him.
THen
he
stands
in
his
crib
and
sqeals
and
I
sqeal
back,
which
gets
him
crazy
excited
and
he
starts
sqealing
more
and
laughing
hysterically.
We
go
to
the
pool
or
park
and
he
splashes
and/or
swings.
Of
course,
he's
only
8
months
so
this
is
about
all
we
can
do.
He's
not
really
into
most
toys
yet
but
he
sure
has
a
good
time
knowing
that
I'm
joining
in
what
he
likes
to
do!

Yes,
my
son
is
22
months
old
and
can
now
play.
It
is
so
great
to
follow
his
lead
and
participate
in
the
activities
he
is
interested
in.
This
is
time
with
him,
whether
it
is
reading,
cuddling,
hide
and
seek,
playing
with
legos,
or
running
down
hills.
I've
learned
that
it
is
healthy
for
me
to
take
this
time
away.
I
am
learning
to
organize
my
time
so
that
I
can
only
focus
on
us.
Sometimes
it
takes
me
a
while
to
shut
my
brain
off
from
the
endless
"to
do"
list.
But
I
find
that
when
I
do,
it
is
time
that
is
priceless.
Edgym9om 12th May
I
always
played
with
my
kids,
down
to
their
level...I
taught
them
how
to
throw
a
football
actually.
Now
that
I'm
a
grandma
of
a
very
active
10
year
old,
I
have
learned
how
to
play
transformers,
the
Wii,
we
play
pirates
and
so
much
more.
I
have
also
taught
him
to
make
cookies,
and
pretend
to
drive
to
Mexico
for
a
day,
and
made
it
feel
like
a
wonderful
week-long
action-packed
vacation.
We
had
the
best
time,
got
post
cards,
souvenirs
and
so
much
more.
I'm
53
and
I
still
play
Matchbox
cars
with
him
too.
I
love
it
and
wouldn't
trade
this
time
in
my
life
for
ANYTHING.
Daisy 11th May
As
they
get
older,
this
becomes
even
more
fun.
My
husband
taught
our
son
to
play
cribbage,
and
now
they
both
play
better
than
I
do.
We
pack
the
board
on
vacations.
Simple
card
games
are
a
life
skill.
DebR 9th May
I
play
with
them
each
morning
before
work.
Cars,
blocks
or
superheroes.
And also play with them from 6-8 after work. baseball, soccor, ball, whatever. Chalk, blocks etc. or reading. Hubby does more physical stuff, like wrestle, and sports outside. He goes in all the play areas with them. I stay to the side at those playgyms and supervise. Someone is always crying at some point. ah! Lylah M. Alphonse 8th May
Yes!
My
3-year-old
asked
me
recently
if
I
was
really
a
grown
up
and,
when
my
12-year-old
was
3,
she
had
asked
the
same
thing.
That's
one
of
my
favorite
parenting
memories...
BiblioBabe 8th May
That's
been
one
of
my
goals
for
awhile,
although
it
is
hard
to
stop
multitasking.
When
I
actually
do
it,
though,
it
gives
me
so
much
joy
it
makes
me
wonder
why
I
ever
thought
to
put
it
off
so
I
could
do
dishes
or
watch
Oprah
(no
offense,
Big
O...).
Lee 8th May
I
play,
but
sometimes
begrudgingly.
I
have
to
agree
with
Nataly
that
it's
sometimes
really
HARD
to
make
myself
stop
getting
dinner
ready,
or
cleaning
up
just
one
more
thing,
to
play
with
my
3-yr-old.
I
don't
feel
very
creative
or
interested
in
the
department
of
"bad
guys
vs.
Ninja
Turtles"
action-adventure.
Sigh.
But
this
question
--
and
your
answers
--
are
a
good
reminder
that
it's
IMPORTANT.
I'm
going
to
try
to
do
better.
:)
anastasiav 8th May
We
play
--
on
the
floor,
outdoors,
at
the
kitchen
table
--
every
day.
Of
course,
it
helps
that
I'm
one
of
those
silly
people
who
never
stopped
believing
that
certain
toys
are
"real",
so
I'm
confident
the
toys
enjoy
being
played
with
as
much
as
my
son
and
I
enjoy
playing
with
them.
I'm really lousy at making truck sounds, though. oceans mom 8th May
That's
awesome!
I
love
to
hear
it!
Like
Lorena
said,
it's
good
to
be
a
kid
again!
