After the day work , I feel exhausted ad tired like I just can't do anything and want to relax. The moment I sit , Sanjive says "Mommy Mommy Come play with me". Shrinika too pull my dress and expressed her willingness to play with me. I took a deep breath and jumped from the couch and said "Yes .. Let's play".
Chores and working for a dollar should not eliminate Fun!
I tried teach my kids with books !
They gave me puzzled looks !
I tried to teach them with words !
They passed him by often unheard !
"How shall I teach this kids", I cried!
Into my hand they put the key!
"Come" they said "Play with us".
The happy faces and the excited shouting boosted my energy. I said "Let's play Hide and seek". Sanju said "No Mommy , Let's play "Mad Elephant"". and continued "You are the mad elephant". I gave a big smile and went inside the kitchen making elephant sound and I disappeared. I shouted in an elephant tone "Be ready , On the count of 10, I will be really really mad...." and gave a long elephant sound. Sanju shouted "Okay ! Okay". Our Copy Cat Shrinika too shouted "Okay , Okay", though she don't understand what is happening. Sanju started to count. The copy cat (Shrinika) too joined him. The moment both said "TTTTTTT......en ". The ferocious mad elephant came outside the kitchen rushing and started chasing the super boy and the super girl. And now the super girl understood the play. She understood that mad elephant is chasing and just want to escape from it. Both ran and ran. After some time, I catch hold of the copy cat and put her in the "Closet Cave". Sanjive , the super boy who need to save himself as well as he need to rescue the super girl from the "Closet Cave". He successfully does that. The playing continued.
And now , It is Sanju's turn to be a mad elephant. We played at least for an hour, but the time flew like a blink of an eye. Though my body was tired before, after the play my mind got freshen up and so my body.
Then the upcoming days , we played "Tag", Running and screaming. Wowwwww wonderful playing.
"Thief and Police". I will be always "Thief". The police boy and girl , they have powerful weapons. They attack the thief and finally the thief will be in the "Closet Jail".
"Hide and Seek". One of my favorite play. Though I know where these little warriors were hiding , I should pretend as if I don't know where they were . I feel like laughing but should control it and pretend as if I was searching them very seriously. I enjoy and enjoy
"Throw ball",
The super girl enjoys the throw ball very much.
When I was doing my work out in the living room. "The Bike race will start". The super boy and Super girl would start their bike . They make rounds and rounds around me. I was like a doll doing some funny poses in the middle of the living room.
"The wheels of the bikes goes Round and Round.. Round and Round".
The main agenda was they should not hit me with their bike. I am so happy that I was the reason for them to get a control over the bike.
.
When we were done with playing, we sit on the sofa with heavy breathing. Sanju murmured into my ears "I love you Mommy" and a sweet soft kiss. The copy cat copied her brother perfectly and It is worth it all.
Kids don't need more things. The best toy a child can have is a parent who gets down on the floor and plays with them. These little ones brought back my missed childhood to me.
In the play , usually the kids enjoy with their toys. But here "The Toy (ME)" enjoys a lot than the kids
This toy too require batteries and keys to be operated. The batteries are the happiness of the kids and Key is the smile which I get because of them.
