Playing with kids

Tuesday, October 21, 2008

I just dont like it. I love to have conversations with my kids, and to make observations with them - like on a walk or drive. I (usually) enjoy doing actual things with them, like baking. But playing? It is torturous. I can barely keep my eyes open and focus on the playing that I am supposed to be doing. Elaina right now keeps trying to get me to play fairy/mermaid/somethingorother... and I keep losing focus. Of course it doesnt help that she is super bossy, and her version of playing involves telling me exactly what to say and do. We did a puzzle and that was fun, and we had a tea party, and that was good too. But I am now looking forward to Andrew coming home and they can play.
