1.\u00a0 Make your child a thank you card for being so wonderful.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Watch the sunset together.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Eat supper in a strange room, even on the floor<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Play charades together as a family. <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(Which reminds me of one of my favorite kid stories– My friend Tiffany played with her family and her young daughter lay on the floor absolutely still.\u00a0 Everybody guessed and guessed but finally gave up.\u00a0 The little girl triumphantly shouted “I’m a sandwich!”.)<\/em><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Make a fort out of couch cushions, sheets or boxes– you climb in too.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Take your little one’s hand or foot and stamp prints in paint as decoration on a window sill, around a bathroom mirror, or on a piece of furniture.\u00a0 Write the date somewhere with her age.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Write a picture book together!\u00a0 Illustrate it during art time throughout the week.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Try circus tricks together.\u00a0 See if you can juggle, balance a ball on your nose or walk a “tightrope” on the floor.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Have a tea party.\u00a0 Let your child be the host.\u00a0 Cut sandwiches with cookie cutters for tea sandwiches.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

10. Tell the kids that today is hundred kisses day.\u00a0 Pick a sound, and every time you hear that sound all day you have to drop what you’re doing and find your kids and give them 20 kisses loudly on their heads, bellies, knees or whatever you can grab.\u00a0 At the end of the day if you haven’t heard the sound enough times to equal 100 you have to finish all the hundred kisses.\u00a0 You can pick a word too– for instance any time anybody on TV says car then you give kisses.<\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
