Reliving my youth

One of the many awesome parts about being a mom is the endless opportunities to play! Not just sit and supervise or provide support and encouragement but to actually engage in real, let-it-all-hang-out play! I got to do this often in my job working with kids, but there I always had to keep in mind what we were accomplishing or the goal of the play or what the child was processing and how to facilitate that. With my own kiddos, it's just plain fun! Sabrina is to an age now where she is beginning to imagine and it able to play with some of my old favorites! We played play doh the other day for 3 hours!!!! I cannot tell you how great it was to have that salt doh under my nails again! Heaven!

This was our potatohead family...Sabrina named them all herself (from left to right) The real Sabrina (obviously!) potato Sabrina, Auntie Jay, Anabelle, Daddy and Mommy




After writing this post it got me thinking of other childhood faves I can track down for us to play with....anyone have any old faves that are fun to do with kiddos??
