When I was a kid, I love dressing up my barbies and playing with my barbie house. And I especially loved it when I mama played with me. It brought me so much joy. Today I got to play on the floor with my little one. We played with playdough and had a blast. We had so much fun, she vacuumed and then she didn’t even fight me to take a bath. Since I’ve started working again, I forgot how important it is to play with my girls. Since we both had so much fun, I hope it will be a reminder to me in the future to be more intentional about about play.
Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
