Have you ever started doing something with your children and found that you wanted that activity to be over as quickly as possible. I’ve had a few moments like that lately. One was when I took my baby girl and twirled her around, once I did that she kept wanting me to continue doing that with her. Another time I started a tickle fight, one that the kids never wanted to end. Then there are the classic examples like when I put our baby girl in her swing, and once you start that you can’t stop. No matter how long I push her, she gets mad when I tell her we’re “all done”.
I’m sure I’m not the only out there to experience this feeling. The most recent example of this happened over the Fourth of July weekend. My whole family was over for supper one night and we got out a new game, the famous Bean-Bag Toss. Luke got his turn and didn’t want to stop. My sister kept giving him bags to toss, and after a while she asked me if I wanted to take over, then after a while I asked my sister-in-law to take over. The great part about this was that there were plenty of adults to help pick up the bags and hand them to Luke. If I did this on a normal day with Luke, I’m not sure how long I could “fetch” his bean-bags. Luke loved it and when he ran out of bags he let us know!! He wasn’t easy to get him to stop…I think it became one of his favorite things to do…right up there with opening and shutting doors!
