Our kitchen table....

Playing in the dining room, at the kitchen table, or on the family room floor creates a whole different family dynamic than other activities. Conversations can start to happen -- you may learn things about your child academically or socially that you didn't know. That's a much better atmosphere than, 'Tell me about your day,' when you're doing something you and your child enjoy.

We are enjoying this little lull as basketball is coming to a close for both boys....at the moment its hip hop, ballet, guitar, and track...and for us that is a light load. We have soaked up the extra family time with a few more dinners together and board game nights. Doing these things in a slow....no hurry way...really is a beautiful thing. Sitting together...laughing and talking...I have discovered so many things about my littles. Seriously, a bowl of popcorn and a board game and you have a magical night. If only our kitchen table could talk......
