Because my previous attempt at simple entertainment was so well received by the girls, I figured I would continue the trend with some more old-fashioned toys: a ball and string.
At first, the girls were a little befuddled by the simplicity of my suggestion: Here’s a ball, here’s some string. Go play!
I think Susie was looking for the ball’s on-off switch.
But soon, the kids did what kids do best – they improvised. They wore the string as a bracelet and a headband. They played tug-of-war. And of course, they played the classic game of keep-away. Twins are especially well-practiced at the game of keep-away.
These games only kept them entertained for a few minutes while I tried to clean up from dinner, but it gave me hope that the girls don’t need fancy toys to keep them occupied. They don’t need flashing lights or remote controls to pass the time.
But don’t tell their Dad!
