This morning my son came to me with 2 of his Monster trucks, asking me if we can play a.k.a crash into each other with the cars.
Something most 5 year old boys do, and also truly believing they are real life Dinosaurs and Transformers.
I hear those constant sounds in my dreams at night. I could be a very affortable sound editor on the Jurrasic Park movies, or any sound effects in Action movies.
So like most times I wanted to say, "Mommy still needs to do this and that". Actually meaning I want to sit on the couch and brows Instagram, Facebook and all the other unimportant crap we do every day.
And for a moment I thought , in the blink of an eye, he will be grown up, not remotely interested in doing anything with his Mother. So get your shit together (meaning realize what is actually important in life) and do something with him/play one of the games he loves.
I remembered about a box in our bedroom from a delivery I got in the week (my wedding dress for my vows renewal ceremony, 10 year anniversary with my husband) marrying the same guy twice, what the hell am I thinking right? Just joking, I got one of the last good ones 😁💕
And a Bossa Pizza box in the kitchen. So I got some masking tape, as there is always tape lying around in our house, I spray painted our hall carpet the other day haha.
Anyway, we built a ramp.
Got some cushions from the TV room, to sit on, because the old wives tale is, you get piles from sitting on a cold floor for long. And even after 2 pregnancies I was lucky enough to not get that, so I will rather be cautious.
And we played and laughed and was all silly. All while the 10 month old baby girl is making such a noise, sometimes I can't distinguish between her singing, screaming and talking (so it was one of the 3)
Then we all played together on the carpet, which was mainly the baby pulling on our ears and hair. And while trying to take a picture or two, this was the best we could do, under the circumstances.
I wouldn't trade moments like this for anything in the world....
The point I'm trying to make is.
That social media, magazine, whatsapp, game, series, show,can wait.
Play with your kids, do silly things with them, build forts, ramps, puzzles, anything.
Let them be little, cause they're only that way for a little while.
