How to have fun (the toddler lesson)

Having fun is something kids know instinctively how to do.

Yesterday I agreed to have my mates four year old for a couple of hours so she could work and was faced with the prospect of keeping not 1 but 2 pre-schoolers entertained and happy for the morning.

And to be fair, it wasn't too bad.

Apart from a few 'I want to do this.' 'Well I want to do that' type arguments, for the most part they played nicely together - drawing, watching a sing-a-long dvd, playing cars. And sofa jumping...


Now I know I probably should have put a stop to that one at the start but...well...they sounded like they were having sooooooo much fun I just didn't have the heart to tell them to stop jumping on the furniture (and it's not like any of our furniture is anything special, being a mis-match of hand-me-downs from people who CAN afford to buy NEW sofas...). It was worth any potential sofa damage just to hear them both giggling like loons for a good half an hour!!!

Look at the pictures below - I dare you not to smile...


See? Who says you need expensive toys or day trips to theme parks? Having fun really is as simple as jumping off the sofa...
