Play Mama š
Iām sorry, but they wonāt remember what you bought them. But I promise you, theyāll remember when you went down the slide they dared you to.
Theyāll remember playing on the trampoline with you and you showing your tricks off too⦠handstands? Letās give it a go. Kartwheels⦠well, this Mamas a pro!
I can drown my kids in toys and things they ask for, but that doesnāt quite give them or me the joy they need.
What brings me more joy is being fully present with them, being a mama who plays with them. Getting friction burns on my elbows from the sides of the slides because my daughter asked me to go down holding her. (True story)
Watching you play and be silly gives your babies so much.
Presence, enjoyment, laughter, confidence, memories andā¦
It lets them know that Mama can play as well as have to be serious sometimes.
Mine love me being silly, chasing them round the house, unexpected hide and seek, or getting lost in some pretend role play my daughter has made up⦠I roll with it!
What was the last game you played with your children?
Whatās your fave?
Do you have bruises and marks on yourself like I do?⦠(elbow scabbing over from the burn of the slide) proof that I get carried away being silly, playing with my kids?
Itās good for our kids to play with them, itās good for our inner child too!
