Balancing Work and Play

The Kiddo has been bemoaning the fact that there's so much to do and so little time to play. She's right, of course. With the end of the school year almost here, there are a lot of events culminating to punctuate the year's end. And as much as we love recitals, musicals, festivals, etc., it also means we have to work (or in our case, practice) a LOT. Not to mention we have to keep up with school work. Needless to say, when there is a flurry of activities, it's easy to forget to take that precious breather.

So, since she has been working so hard, we are going to figure out what we can do LESS of so we have more time for play and rest, for sitting outside and sipping a cold drink, for reading on the grass at the park, for having a heyday on the jungle gym, for going out on walks.

And come Spring Break, we are most definitely going to do a heck of a lot of nothing.

Downtime is important, it's especially important for children to have time to not have to do anything, to have time to imagine, dream and create. Many people are ready for Spring break.
