The Simple Things
What do two preschool girls need to keep them entertained for an afternoon.
Baby dolls?
A Hannah Montana Concert?
Paints?
Movies?
A moonbounce?
A box of dress up clothes?
How about two potatoes?
My daughter and her friend were playing so nicely and quietly so I walked over to see what they were doing. They were sitting on the floor rolling potatoes back and forth while the mounds of toys we’ve aquired sat by, untouched.
It’s always this way, from the first Christmas when they play with the wrapping paper and boxes. Yet we keep wanting to give our children the best and max out our cards buying the latest craze only to have it sit on a shelf or lay in the bottom of the toybox.
Someday we parents will learn. Maybe we can follow their example to a simpler life.
