What do you enjoy doing with your kids? How do you spend your time with them? I like to read to my 13 month old. He loves it! He just soaks it all in.

I like to do movie nights with my kids. They really love it if I will play video game (doesn't happen very often), or we go to a friends house to visit together. We go camping a lot in the summer times. Tomorrow we are going to bake cookies, that always a good one. My younger son loves music so I will sing to him while he is in bed, or read stories. I guess it depends on the day.

hmm i enjoy doing many things with my son.. lately he has been very creative though and has been using his imagination which is very vivid! so now we play alot of 'pretend'... he likes to pretend feed me yummy foods like bananas or celery, or we play pretend drawing with crayons... its loads of fun and is also very exciting to watch him use his imagination in such ways!

My 4 year old has always loved books. I swear, he could sit for hours at a time if you read to him. I love the time I spend reading to him because we're usually sitting together in a big armchair cuddling at the same time! Now that my son has gotten a little older, one of my favorite things to do with him is just hang out and talk with him. He is a great little conversationalist. He's just a great guy period. When the weather is agreeable we like to go to the park together, and he is also a fun companion when I am out doing errands etc. He has been my most frequent companion since his birth and I just adore being with him no matter what we're doing!

My kids is 5 years old. And i really enjoy going to the mall with him. It's our greatest bonding, haha. Because we both love it. I also enjoy playing computer games with him. I also enjoy guiding him when he was surfing the net. We sometimes play kitchen too, really enjoyable.

I'm a stay @ home Mom so I get lots of time with my little 16 month old girl. She absolutely LOVES books, so we do that too, but we also go on lots of walks & do lots of activities throughout the day. It's so fun to see how much they learn, so fast.

I have a 5 year old son and a 2month old baby boy. Playing with them, singing, reading,playing,going to the park, or any activity will make the spending worth while.. spending time with them is the most rewarding a parent can do to their children..
