Bring on the Fun!

Bring on the Fun!

Jun 22

Another trait that Dad can bring to the family is a sense of fun! It is interesting to watch parents of babies.  The difference between moms and dads in how they play is hilarious.  Dad is usually the one who will be tossing the baby in the air, much to the child’s delight and moms chagrin.  As the children get older dad is the one on the floor playing horsy or having wrestling matches.  He seems to be the one at bath time who covers the bathroom in water from all the splashing, or at bed time begins a pillow fight instead of finishing the book.

Dads are able to bring an awesome sense of fun to the family.  We need to remember how important it is to family life that there is a sense of fun.  If things get stressful at work or in other areas, having fun at home can be a great stress reliever.  This needs to be made a priority, especially when there are times when you don’t necessarily feel like playing  and would rather relax in front of the TV.  These times of fun will not only allow you to let go for awhile but also create wonderful memories that your children will carry into adulthood!
