Today I was very mindful of my thoughts, I named them and let them go. I'm pretty proud of myself. I also did some silly fun things. When it was quiet and all my chores were done, I took down one of each of the big kid riding toys and rode them all over the store. I tried to Ollie the spoon toy, but being as I could never ollie a skateboard either, I gave up. My thighs, arms and core muscles loved the workout. I'm telling you my fellow bite sized parents: get these toys for your kids, then put your kids to bed early so you can have a fun work out. I also (accidentally) played dominoes with the lower shelf of the craft section...
Playing is such an important part of mental and physical health. How appropriate that I get a toy store job at a time in my life where I need light hearted play.
