This is Wayne's World

So on the day of daughters 3rd birthday…

I realised something I hadn’t yet realised. She’s older now! I mean, she plays older kids games…. Not like armies in the woods or being hooked online sniping, but board games and with dolls and the like.
We played buckaroo and a jumping frog game and not that long ago we wouldn’t do that….. Well, wouldn’t play them properly, by the rules. Or nearly properly with our own structured rules anyway.

I try messing about and she’s telling me what not to do! ….. Seems I need to play catch up with myself……

And her dolls and figures now have more complexed lives…. They converse with each other brilliantly. In fact it seems that almost over night her playing skills increased to new levels.

OK, so she still would be classed as a toddler but the transformation in my eyes is incredible…

That’s just the nature of learning though and kids her age are learning a lot. Becoming the person they ultimately will be. Shaping themselves without realising it and we’re helping. Us parents.
We’re the ones on our knees with a 3 year old on our back saying ‘giddyup’.
We’re the ones trying to cheat to victory….. I mean, letting them win!!

I’m the one having to grow up with my daughter and now take a whole new set of orders!
