Nothing is more fun these days, for the twins, than totally pulling all and I do mean ALL of our couch cushions off our couch and building a castle in the middle of the living room! Watching them brings back my own memories of spreading sheets all over my parents living room to build a fort. There was something awesome about crawling through tunnels of cushions and having lunch under a sheet tent in the living room. Our boys like to make a mound of cushions leading up to the couch just so they can scale it. They'll spend an hour just climbing and jumping into a pit of cushions.
I love watching them play and pretend. Yes my living room looks like a wreck for a little bit, but the time it takes to pick up a few cushions is so worth the time they spend laughing and playing. And isn't that what children are supposed to do? A happy and healthy childhood where they can be creative in their play, helps them to be happy and healthy grown ups who are able to have fun and be creative as adults.
I think our job, aside from raising them up right, is to also make it easy for them to play and laugh and just be kids! Our boys' childhood is a precious gift and I hope they always have fond memories of being young as they grow up to the men that their Daddy God has called them to be.
Share your favorite childhood memory or what you love about watching your own children grow and play!
