So today. Labor Day. I slept in much later than I'd intended, and when I finally came downstairs, I was surprised to find the kiddos playing. Together. Peacefully. Mostly quietly.
They'd gathered together an assortment of Animal Jam creatures, Littlest Pet Shop pets, Legos, and stuffed animals, and had built a sort of village on the family room floor. What surprised me the most, though, was that the game actually persisted throughout the day.
Don't get me wrong, they love each other. I know that. But I also know that they're of different ages and have reached different developmental stages and have different interests. Yet somehow, today, they put their heads together and came up with a game that they all enjoyed. If kids can do it, it's my hope and sincere prayer that some day, adults will figure out how to do it, too.
