House of play

I think it is imperative that I never forget how much fun it is to have a home full of toys.  Think about it. As a child, all I ever wanted was a fort full of toys and sweet things.  Well, here I am!  I have Barbies and stuffed animals, games and coloring, paints, DVDs, dolls and Star Wars action figures. There is chalk and stickers, air hockey and dress up and best of all....I have a friend to play with all the time! Sure she is 33 1/2 years younger than me, but she is so fun! Her energy never runs out, she loves to try new things and use her imagination!  I feel so lucky!

What I have to remember though, is that this little girl will be growing up before I know it.  The Barbies will start to fade and the air hockey may not be as fun.  She doesn't know it, but I do. I know because I saw my Mom go through it when I was young.  But I have a promise to make to her.  I will never be without toys or dolls or stuffed animals.  My fort will always be here for her and I will always be ready to play.  I will keep myself young at heart so she always will have that to come home too.

So, instead of typing away, I think I am going to go and enjoy a lovely viewing of the movie "Tangled" with my daughter.  I am so grateful for this time.  I plan to use every moment of it. 

GO PLAY!
