Yes, it has started. Football is here and with a 3 1/2 year old boy in the house and a love of dressing up – we are all about this game.
First of all, for some reason the kids will watch it with Ross and like it. They think they know what is going on.
Second of all, pretending to be a football player involves imaginative play and therefore we are being good parents by letting them explore this game.
Third, this game involves dressing up in jerseys or “team shirts” as the kids call them, and this is exciting for them without making too much of a mess. See here as Lily is a princess football player. Anything goes on this field! Dress up is awesome!!!
Finally, and most importantly, playing football releases stored up energy and involves any number of poses and roughhousing that take up gobs of time! When the jersey got too big we did a little shirts and skins. I laughed my ass off for a good half an hour! And laughter is worth a million bucks. Thank god for kids!
So we are again in football season and I think we will stay here as long as it stays this fun for toddlers!
I am the Ringmaster of this circus. I have 3 small children who don't know what that means so I just say "Boss" and they get that. I am a mom who loves to write, build things, make things and love on my kids and my hubs. I am also in the midst of a love affair with social media. Always busy, usually laughing and never without words. Thus, Mommy Words.
