Hi agrant! My youngest seems to prefer to make his own toys. As much as I want him to clean up the mess after that I always end up doing more.

I love the time I spend with him actually. I love to see him being him making his own toy in something I don't know what it is though. But I also want him to learn to clean up the mess he made.

Hi Tomitomi, That is so good you allow him to make his own toys even though sometime you do not know what it is (That is really funny). I think it is great that you allow him to be creative and to express that side of him. That is so important. I can feel you on the clean up part. Maybe you can have him to do it and of course you will have to go back behind him. Maybe when he gets a little older it will become easier. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.

Just being w/them is a trteat for me. When my grandson comes to stay awhile we play outside, color & do most everything he wants to, lol. I usually have to make him something to eat. he usually wants macaroni & cheese & nothing else.

That is great you get to spend quality time with him. I'm sure when he is older he will cherish those times. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.

Spend quality time with children is something very pleasant. I spent time with my child with a joke together, play, story telling and others. I rarely spend more time with my kids, so if I have time with my kids, I'll use it well. I was so close to my child and know my child's development.

I understand you have to make every minute count because they grow up so fast.

Not all the time, but I try to bring the kids to sporting events. We would watch a basketball, a hockey, or a soccer game. Of course I don't bring them to the expensive ones, just the local-community games where it is a bit cheaper. Sometimes they don't appreciate the game itself, but they do love it when I bring them there because they get to eat hotdogs, popcorn, and cotton candies.

Hi bounce58, That sounds like a lot of fun and it does give them something to do while you are spending time with them as well. Thanks for responding.

Every night we have story time right before bed that is our special time. But we also color, play play doh, go to the park, she loves to go shop for books, there are times where we will go to lunch just me a my daughter I love to have that one on one time with her. We go for a walk, well she rides her tricycle around the block. Blow bubbles, play water balloons, sometimes she helps me make dinner (if it something she can help with she is only 3, she shakes the salad for me.) Sometimes we just sit on the couch and cuddle while watching a movie or something. I try to make sure that a least a couple of time a week I let her pick something that she wants to do. She like me to play in her room with her.
