‘Relaxed’ Playtime with Pregnant Mommy
Over these past few weeks I’m more keen on ‘relaxed’ playtime with Anya (for obvious reasons).
For any activities that require more ‘physical strength’, I’d leave it to her daddy. You know, stuff like jumping and hopping around or playing ‘koala-bear’ (where she hugs one of your legs and you’d then start walking around). I just don’t have the energy for such play. And Anya knows it, though she still occasionally tries her luck while giggling away.
And so nowadays, we spend time together doing stuff like:
>> reading books together (yeah … I visit the neighbourhood library more often now!)
>> Anya telling ME what the storybook is about (while I lay on the bed and relax)
>> playing ‘hairdresser’ (where Anya is the hairdresser of course! Now this is an excellent one because I get to nap for a few minutes while she washes and dries my hair, combs and puts hairclips on me! Hehe.)
>> Doodling. Either she doodles or I draw something and she takes a guess at what it is. Right now I’m teaching her different shapes in English (rectangle, circle, oval, etc) and so this doodling activity is also a great way to spend with your kid, especially if you’re VERY pregnant and need to relax!
Anyway, here’s Anya’s drawing … of ME! Hehe.
