I know I haven't been active in a while. I should correct that and say I have been very active but I haven't had a chance to write it all down! You haven't really missed much....just the same old, same old as a stay-at-home mom....whining, crying, temper tantrums, pouting and then there is the kid's behavior!
I was thinking today....sometimes the sand box gets too small. We all want in it. But we don't want to get in without our favorites toys. We each need our buckets (the round one and of course the castle shaped one), our shovels, our rake, our sifters and animal shaped molds. We get into these sandboxes and realize that we are too crowded. We are all there for the one purpose but each of us brought our individual toys. The toys are repeated and may only differ in size, style or color. The problem is usually that we think that our "toys" are the right toys for the job. It is hard to give up our favorite sand pail and let someone else bring that to the play date. I've always liked my shovel a lot but I see someone else has one that holds more. It is hard to give up and compromise.
Yep, the sandbox sure does get smaller as we get older. Those lessons of playing nice in the sand with others that we share with our kids are still valid as we get older too.
Please note....no actual sandbox was used to create this blog!!!
