Parent Play Time

I love to play with Peter. He's such a sweetheart. But while playing with cars never seems to get old for him, it does tend to get old for me.

So, as a parent, I have to get creative. My playtime is to play pictionary with myself and see how well I can draw an object in the room, or to put Peter's toys into a pattern before he can mess the pattern up. That is definitely a game of speed because Peter can pull items out of a pattern faster than you can say "John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt."

Here are examples of my playtime:





Above: Now, I'm no artist, but I'm quite proud of these. Keep in mind that I have to draw these fast because Peter wants to scribble on them too!











Above: Oh, the humanity!

Here are some examples of Jeremiah's play time artwork and the resulting carnage:









Above: Doesn't that picture just make you happy?



Above: It made the cars happy!

Here are some more fancy designs by Jeremiah:



Above: Car Stone Henge.



Above: That one wasn't up long!





Above: Here comes the hand!





Also, just so you know, I do dress up my child in more than just a diaper. However, these particular documented playtimes were diaper chic.



Above: Also in my defense, this is usually the kind of thing that happens when Peter is dressed up...which is why he ends up in his diaper so often!
