Ok moms let me ask you a question. What do you hate doing that your kids love and how often do you make yourself do it anyway? Part of my new year goals involved more quality time with the kids and letting them choose activities. This is something I struggle with because my daughter will always choose "messy art" and I just can't get excited about it. All the prep work and the potential messes and inevitable clean up makes me shudder. Buuuuut I'm trying to let go of my hang ups and provide them more opportunities to do the things they love and in turn have more memorable moments with them. So today we did glitter paint and you know what it wasn't so bad. They had fun and I survived. K made a UFO with aliens and Noah made an abstract picture.
Good for you!! The boys love play doh but it makes me cringe thinking about all the tiny pieces left behind...and don't even start on mixing colors! But I've tried to let go and just let them play.
