God bless pretend play!
My girls in their dress up clothes or what they’ve put together from the items anyway.
The weather has been a little cold and rainy which makes days with the kids quiet unbearable at times. It doesn’t matter that they just got so many new toys for Christmas that they could actually get lost under them all in their room. No it’s not enough to stop them from crying, fighting, yelling, and running around like wild beasts. However Santa was somewhat smart this year. Santa brought right many gifts that could be used on rainy days.
What a wonderful guy that Santa is!
The girls got a play doh set, Diego game cube set which comes with several card games and even bingo, a few video games, and most important pretend play items.
I love pretend play. I was one of those children that would dress up and cook mud pies or grocery shop with my plastic cart and thankfully my kids are the same. I pulled out their dress up clothes, their stove, and their shopping carts and for once I had a few minutes to sit down and take a deep breath… just for a minute.
