I love our silly moments too. Usually it is a song. We turn almost everything into a song around here. Or doing funny impersonations…talking like you are from another place. It always takes them by surprise and makes them smile and laugh. I love it!

Kate, I was definitely talking to myself as much as to anyone. You and I together can learn to relax and goof off a little with our kids! I hope we both have lots of good laughs this weekend.

That last part, “How hard is it…” may have changed my life. I never thought of it this way, although I often think that as a mom I am way to serious for the fact that my oldest is eight. I do not encourage their sillyness and now I ask why? Thanks for putting things into perspective. I am sure my kids think I don’t like them very much. Ah, I will have to go cry and repent quite a bit. Thanks for your comment, because the post didn’t move me the same way your words did.

This is actually so important! It shows kids that you like them and delight in them! How hard it is to willingly follow someone who doesn’t smile or laugh with you… Great tip!
