Inspired by Rice Krispies…

Yep, that’s what I said, Rice Krispies is encouraging me to be a better momma. And I am always up for that challenge! The ongoing job of growing and learning with your children is something that I look forward to continuing for a long time, and so when I saw the Rice Krispies ad with handy tips, one caught my eye, here’s what it said:
{A great way to enjoy the moments of play is to set a time for 30 minutes. Start off any play time with the thought that “For the next 30 minutes, I’m greally going to throw myself into play.” Lawrence J. Cohen, PHD }
I do play with my children, in fact most days we do it a majority of the day, but when was the last time I spent 30 minutes of uninterrupted play with my kids, where I didn’t stop to put a toy back in the right toy bin, or answer the phone, or door, or whatever the little distraction maybe, and really ‘throw myself’ into being the bad robot or horse, or train? Playind is one of my favorite things to do with my children. I get a glimpse of their souls. So today is the first day of my new summer goal: Daily I am going to take 30 minutes uninterrupted time with my boys. So if I don’t answer the phone, or drive by and see me acting crazy, you’ll have to catch me later. I’m not going to be distracted, I am going to PLAY HARD with my boys, because I love it, and I love them.

That is great. Even with little guys, it takes effort to really spend that time with them, although you are “playing” with them all day. Keep us updated on your daily play dates!

What a splendid thought. I always think I spend a lot of time playing, but I wonder how much it’d really be if I added it up. I’ll bet it would be more time of me saying…not right now…in a minute and other annoying things like that.
