GTKU - Favorite Activity with LO(s)

[cam]

What is YOUR favorite activity to do with your LO(s)?

[cam]

I enjoy building things with LO (Lego, K'nex, etc). I also enjoy having dance parties with him. Games, reading, sports, etc. too. I have a lot of favorites really.

I love to swing LO in his outside swing. He is only 3 months and it is the only activity he never gets tired of

With DD (4) I like to do puzzles and play board games. It's fun watching her figure out the rules and get excited to see how the game will go. DS (2) loves to be read to and wrestle. We also like to play Little Einsteins and go off on Rocket on missions.

I hate doing play doh. Like genuinely hate it.

ashiscute - Play doh is the worst. I'll give my kids sharpie markers or a paint roller before I'll break out the play doh. My 3rd child has never even used play doh.
My biggest problem is that I'm so Type A I can't stand when kids mix the colors together.

I know! And you can never separate it once they get mixed. DD uses it a lot at school. DS has used it maybe 3 or 4 times. He starts preschool in September. That's what preschool is for IMO.

forevermorgan and ashiscute, we only play with one color at a time here. Even as a kid, I wouldn't mix them, and I know LO would be pissed about not being able to get them apart. We only have a few pieces that are even meant to be multiple colors though anyway.

Blowing bubbles is fun! I'm also looking forward to doing mommy and me swim classes again.

Add me to the play doh hate club...we don't even have any play doh.

I love going on walks with DD. We also play the "I'm gonna get you game" where she is supposed to run away from me and I catch her, but she starts running away and then runs toward me smiling. It is the sweetest thing to see. I like reading to her too when she will sit still long enough for me to read a book to her.

Can I just say the title autocorrect actually had me LOL "GTKU-favorite activity with LO(s)"--No, I generally do that when they are out of the room. *rimshot*

In all seriousness, I love reading with my kids, baking, and going for walks. I let DS do play dough, but he gets 2 colors at a time and only gets to play if DD is napping or otherwise not able to get in there and make a mess. He uses his play dough skills to help me bake sugar cookies.

I like doing puzzles, reading books, and dancing with DD1.

With DD2, I play a lot of silly little games to make her giggle. We sit on the floor playing with her toys a bit.

LOL. That's what I get for typing with a migraine. I even noticed it while typing the title but forgot to go back and change it by the time I finished the title (that whole "long" title!). How bad is that?!? At least it was a funny one. I am glad to hear you prefer them out of the room.

Blowing bubbles. Picking flowers. Strolling around the neighborhood. Cutting shapes. Play doh. Singing songs -- this id w DD 4YO.

With LO strolling. Baby massage. Singing.
