I agree totally with my sister in law (also named Jennifer see below):
So, I'm that mom...when playing with the kids I will eventually get to a point when I start picking up and organizing and putting away their toys. I don't mean to...I really intend to play and interact with Josie and Tommy but when their attention diverts from me to something else, I can't help but to start organizing and putting things away. I feel somewhat guilty about this but on the plus side of ALL the toys our kids have there is only one toy that has a piece missing.--that's good, right?
This totally ties in with my post today! (see Wired Wednesday)
It is difficult for us to just sit and play without worrying about what work lies ahead! Grace asked me this summer to not work so much. She said I needed to take more breaks to play with them. Ouch! I did, and I was blessed! Enjoy your day!
