Babies – Health – Naturally

We take our son to Little Gym.  It is one of those structured gymnastics classes where everything they do is purposeful and they explain to you what muscle they are using and what part of the brain it is stimulating and all that good stuff.  My son is only two years old so it is a parent/child class.

I love it and my son loves it.

What I don’t understand is the parents that stand around trying to act like parents!

Are you kidding?

Wake up parents!  You have a toddler!  This is your chance to be a kid again!!!

I play, laugh, tease, giggle, romp and whatever else I want to do because I am completely focused on that beautiful little boy and the world as he sees it.  I could care less what I look like to others.  I have an amazing opportunity to see the world again thru the eyes of a child and I don’t want to miss one minute of that.

Whether I am at the gym or the playground or my living room floor, it doesn’t matter.  My mother will often say to me when she hears me cackling or doing something crazy, “Karen, you sound ridiculous”.  Yeah, so, what’s your point?  How is pulling in the reins and acting like an adult going to help my son have fun playing?  There will be plenty of time for me to have to discipline or play the responsible adult so forget it.  When it is playtime, it’s playtime.

So go ahead, act crazy, I swear I will not be laughing at you I will be sharing your joy as you share it with your child.
