The art and your writing style merge perfectly. I enjoyed your first posts, too! The Big Box you tried on the rainy day is an excellent idea. I just heard about an approach to play called "Original Play." It's very basic, physical -- not "cultural" -- play. The only rules are for parents. They are: no grabbing, no tickling (it's aggressive), and don't stand up (stay at their level on the floor); touch should be fluid and loving -- this reminded me of Leo's advice to hug your child when you're angry -- at all times. Easy, good advice! Allison x What a beautiful website! The art and your writing style merge perfectly. I enjoyed your first posts, too!
