I took the boys to Jungle Bungle (a huge indoor playground, think McDonalds Playland times 10)this afternoon because it was crazy hot and I thought that it would be something fun to do inside. Carver always has fun, but today I did what I often try to do when we go somewhere fun and I jumped right in and crawled, crouched, slid, and jumped with him in the playground. The look on his face was absolutely priceless. He was so excited to see his old mom crawling through tunnels on her hands and knees trying to keep up with him. Everytime we got to a slide he would say, "I'll go first and catch you mom." So cute! The last time we went up I was complaining a bit about my knees hurting and he said, "Don't worry mom, I won't let your knees get hurt, I promise." My sweet boy.
Since being a mom I have really tried to put my inhibitions aside, not worry about what anyone else thinks, and just have fun for my kids. And you know what I've learned along the way? It doesn't matter what any of the adults around look like when they see you climbing around on your hands and knees being goofy, all that matters is the smile and look of absolute joy on your childs face. I know I won't remember being embarassed that I looked silly tomorrow but I will remember how excited my kids were that I actually got down and played with them and had some fun.
Tomorrow I'm taking the boys to the pool. Who cares if I'm not the best looking mom in a bathing suit there? I will be the one having the most fun!
No pictures today, I was too busy being silly. I'll try to get some new ones up this weekend.
Enjoy your kids while they're young. As much as I sometimes wish Carver weren't 3, I sure had fun with my 3 year old today!
