Last night I played dolls with Mary and Lydia, and Ammon sat and watched, wishing he could play.
I told Ammon I would play with him the next night and so tonight we did. Honestly, work has been so stressful, that it was so nice to just tell myself, “Abe forget everything grown-up in your life, and just be a kid with Ammon for the next hour.” It’s hard to describe how refreshing and fun it was for me. We build lots of towers out of magnet-tiles and had a little bit of play with figures with a storyline about crystals being fought over, and then we learned that magnet-tile buildings could look awesome in the dark when we put flashlights in them and turned out the lights. Ammon was enthralled by the discover, and excitedly showed others in the house and continued building magnet-tile buildings with flashlights the next day. I love that boy so so so much!
Also, here is a picture of Lily walking with Lydia and of Lily reading a book to Ammon and Clarissa. She is such a wonderful mother!
