My son is 3 months, so my favorite thing to do with him besides cuddle is get on the floor and show him his toys, sing crazy songs to make him laugh, and just watch him.

My daughter is 17, and most of the time way too cool to want to hang out with the likes of me , but when she was little we would pack a picnic and go someplace to eat it. If we were going someplace that we could, we'd play ball or frisbee. If not, we'd lay on a blanket and look at the clouds. We would give hints as to what we thought they looked like and the other would guess (like "cloud" 20 questions). We would also make pretend we were on a cloud and we would explain to the other what we could see from up there. We used to like the park too, until .I got a huge wood splinter in my knee from climbing around in the fort.

i love singing to them- it's so cute when they mimic the actions i do and try to sing along

Cuddling up on the sofa or bed watching a dvd, or reading a story together. Another thing is taking him to the park, watching him all happy playing on everything, exploring and chatting away to other kids. Oh and taking him swimming he loves that, its so cute. I helped at his pre school today and all the kids got a turn on a bouncy castle, he loved that

I love to just be with my daughter. It doesn't matter what we do, just getting time with her without any other distraction puts me on a cloud. Last week my husband and I took her to pick strawberries, she had a blast and we had an awesome time watching her. We didn't think we'd ever get the basket filled because she ate them as soon as we put them in. I like taking her to outdoor places and letting her run. She's so proud to get out of her stroller and run.

I love to cuddle with my son. He loves to cuddle in the mornings and right before he falls asleep. He has been more cuddly lately, which is so hard because of my big belly. I am sure he senses that change is about to happen very soon with a baby coming.

I also love to go to the park with him!!

My favorite activity to do with my children.

Depending on the time of year (if we're stuck indoors), the age ranges of my kids vary, but, a 500 piece puzzle will keep us all together and connected for a while.

Until.......Daddy comes and makes us "put it away" and "clean it up"?

Sometimes "involuntarily to him", we get his crab ass involved in the puzzle too!



Try to stay connected!

my baby isn't born yet but i can't wait to sing and read to baby. it'll be so neat to go from singing and reading and talking to him or her to having them learn to sing, talk and read back to me. i remember how proud my mom was when i learned to read and she used to record me singing all the time because she thought it was cute. there are so many things to look forward to and i'm sure baby will decide what his or her favourites are too. i'm just hoping that .rich will have a little fishing buddy (boy or girl) and someone to teach how to make a birdhouse and stuff like that lol. i'm looking forward to all of it.

Sleep.

right now my favorite thing to do with finn is snuggle. he's not a snuggly boy, he's usually too busy to just relax with me. lately though he's been very affectionate and we spend some time every day rocking in his chair. i just feel so content when he lays his head on my shoulder and plays with my hair, every now and again he'll pick his head up to look at me and then lay back down and sigh into my neck. it's just the sweetest thing and i cherish it because i know he won't be like this forever.

Dancing! She absolutely loves it. I've been dancing with her since she was born, usually when .Ellen comes on and does her little groove with the audience. Now .Alyvia dances on her own. It's the cutest thing. She gets the biggest smile when I tell her to shake her booty!

lol. that sounds like fun. oooh i can't wait!!
