Hellobee Boards

I like dancing, reading, running outside.

I like reading, Legos, coloring and cooking as long as we aren't in a hurry to eat.

I don't like pretend play.

I love craft activities, play doh, cooking with her and taking her places like the zoo. I love swimming with her but I hate the getting changed part!

I don't mind playing tea parties, playing with the play kitchen, doing puzzles and reading.

I hate going to the park and anything that's outside, playing baby dolls, playing with Little People, lego, stickers, colouring, building forts.

I love play doh, outings like to the zoo, and building with blocks, magnatiles, etc.

I hate art though. So messy!

I like doing most things with them. My favorites are reading to them, talking about the animals in their books, dancing, playing trains, going to story time, going to the children's museum, and cooking with them (letting them stir, mostly).

Least favorites are currently stickers because I'm having to peel them off every surface of my house 10 times a day and play doh because we end up with so many little flakes of play doh on clothes, in their hair, stuck to the bottom of our feet, etc. I love watching them color, but the process of coloring is hard because they will color on themselves, throw the marker caps, fight over who gets the orange marker, etc.

@sorrycharlie: "look at the picture!" "you need an edge piece!" Gah. I don't have the patience for them.

@travellingbee: oh, I did tons of pretend play as a kid too! I personally think kids should do it on their own, otherwise, they end up copying the adult.

@lamariniere: my LO just tells me what to say and do and it's super not fun.

I love messy crafts, reading, dancing, activities.

I hate going to the park in the summer.

@BabyBoecksMom: I did collages with fine sawdust (hamster bedding) once and E decided throwing great handfuls of it into the air was way more fun than putting it onto the gluey paper. Oh lord, it went everywhere!

I love it all except DS's circuit boards and science stuff I get so bored...which I feel bad about. Luckily, DH loves doing circuit boards and science experiments with DS!

I also don't like playing outside when its cold out!
