On the floor - Real Mum story on MoM

21 Comments

When I am tired or have been busy and really want to connect with my under 5s, I just lie on the floor. Once I am on floor, they go crazy chasing each other, and playing with my hair, and climbing over me. Sometimes I lie parallel to the couch and encourage them to walk – not jump-off me. It is like a free massage.

I remember just lying on the floor occasionally when my daughter was little and I found it so relaxing.

Sounds nice. I remember those days – although wouldn’t happen now as my boys are as big as me

What a gory and great idea. My 11 month old loves it when I lie on the ground, good to know it might continue

Oh how cute is that, don’t the little ones just love the simple things we do with them.

My daughter use to love when I laid on my bed, she would stand on my back and try to reach the roof or somersault off my back. She laughed and laughed, I just loved the free massage, she is too big to do it now, but I am sure my son is not far off being able to!

My kids use my mummy tummy as playdough! They think it’s hilarious, and I figure at least that leftover skin is good for something!

Yes free massage.Hubby does that – he will just lie down on his tummy and let the little one jump and walk on his back.
