Are you your child’s favorite toy? I was thinking today about how every moment of my day seems to be spent giving piggy back rides, dragging my leg around with a 40 pound weight attached, being a flipping machine for the littler kids, or turning my leg into a horsey ride. And, oh my goodness, don’t let me think that I’m allowed to sit down without my lap being immediately occupied by three kids eager to hear a story. Because, surely, I wouldn’t be sitting down to take a moment to maintain my own sanity.

I’ve noticed this because, for the last four days, my body has instead been the sole acceptable location for my feverish toddler. Four days. No one else and nothing else will do. I’m looking forward to the return of Mommy the Junglegym. I’m sure my other kids are, too.

So, airplane rides? Twirling until you’re dizzy? What are the things you do with your kids that make you more fun than the park?
