Little Buddy's Top 10 Things to Do with Me

I recently read an article about the top 10 things that children want to do each day with their parents. I thought about that article a good bit as we went through our daily activities. That night, I asked Little Buddy if he could name his favorite things for us to do together. Here they are:

1. Do our bedtime routine. This involves reading a story while he's in the bathtub, feed fish, read another book, say prayers, sing ALL of six of our nighttime songs, and scratch his back. He thinks it's for him. It's really as much for me.

2. Play outside together. Even when it rains.

3. Make cookies together. We need to back off this cookie making a little bit. Maybe I'll convince him we can make another, healthier treat together.

4. Snuggle. I love this one too, Buddy.

5. Tell me about when you were little. He loves these tales, boring as they can be. I always try to relate one to something going on with us.

6. Go shopping. Little Buddy knows me too well. He knows I love a good shopping trip - whether to Wal-Mart, the mall, or online.

7. Play games. I've posted a lot about our game playing, Ticket to Ride, Game Night Lessons, Keep em Reading this Summer, and RV Games to name a few. That reminds me of all the ones I haven't written about yet. =)

8. Watch movies. 

9. Be silly. Now, this is a great stress reliever when the day has gone long.

10. Read our Bible stories. My Mom gave us our Bible Story books from when I was a little girl. We've loved reading them together.







Don't ya just LOVE that Steven Tyler wig Little Buddy has on at Disney. Um, I did. See, we've got silliness and snuggle in one shot!

Now it's your turn. Ask you child(ren) what their Top 10 things to do with you are and share.
