As school departure time looms closer the kids, who have finished breakfast, continue to play with the girls who arrive every morning at 7:30am. Pretending to be animals of various sorts they crawl around the upstairs and down and our daughter, their "owner" vehemently knocks on the door between the floors periodically to "drop off" treats such as invisible bones.
I recently read a statistic that the average child watches 6 hours of TV a day! Whoa...
The precious imagination of childhood must be quick to disappear (if even it ever develops?) if entertainment is constantly in your face? ("Kids need time to think, dream, create and wonder and they can't do that with constant activity, TV, etc." p. 190 The Simple Living Guide)
I'm getting such a chuckle out of listening to them. (The Squirrel is being picked up right now and encouraged to scratch its way to the top of the stairs...) I hate to have to interrupt them...
