As the mom of two boys I have to admit that it's been a bit of a challenge for me to find ways to connect with my kids. It seems the older they get, the more I have to work at finding activities that they want to do with me. You see, both of my boys are B-O-Y-S. They love all things sports which means they spend a lot of time outside playing street hockey, football, basketball, golf...you name it! When they're not doing that they love going fishing and/or hunting with my husband. When it's too cold to be outside they like to watch sports, play army guys, build intricate lego sets, you get the idea... The time I spend with my boys is typically in the kitchen where they are working on their homework or waiting patiently for their food. (Isn't it funny how moms of boys can all relate when it comes to going through food?! Ha!!) There is one other activity that I've done with my boys since they were babies though and I plan to continue the tradition for as long as they'll let me and that is reading aloud to them before bed.
