Wait...whaa? Oh, crap.
We are as yet childless, and watching my husband play with our friends three-year-old twins brings out the kid in me. Before I know it, I am on the ground, playing, racing, and giggling with all of them.
They even celebrated his brithday with him the other day...That kind of joy bring out the kid in me.
I have been stressed out lately because of going back to school tomorrow...So we went to celebrate my upcoming birthday with our friends' twins...Talk about instant stress bust...I felt better than I had in weeks.
BTW, cool contest...I enjoyed writing this!
Enjoying a popsicle on the back stoop during the summer, trying to eat all of it before it melts its sugary rainbow trickle down the stick onto my hand.
Chasing fireflies on a summer night in the backyard.
In winter, making a snow man with charcoal for eyes and a carrot for a nose. Don't forget a real knit cap and scarf. Of course, hot chocolate with marshmellows MUST follow.
Drawing with chalk on the sidewalk and hoping it doesn't rain for a few days so everyone can see my work.
Buying lemonade from the local kids' lemonade stand.
Rolling around on the floor with my daughter, making silly noises and pretending.
Taking time to smell the flowers in the neighborhood.
The pure unadulterated excitement of going to Disney World or any theme park within driving distance and then standing scared at the foot of the biggest roller coaster (doesn't get any easier even if I get older!)
Watching anticipating children on their best behavior on Christmas eve and the squeals of excitement on Christmas morning.
These things make me feel like a kid again.

I wrote a post about your topic here: http://littlebalddoctors.wordpress.com/2008/05/.... Thanks for the reason to take a trip back in time. Our summers are always crazy busy and I sometimes forget to stop and savor the things that make the memories in all the busy-making that happens during summer. This gave me a reason to slow down and think about the fun stuff. Thanks!

I still have to avoid candy stores like the plague...if I walk through that door I WILL walk out with at least 2 bags of peach rings and rock candy.
I'm a high junkie as well and hit the amusement parks hard. A good day is a day when I have a headache from too many roller coasters.
It's very true that the kid in you never disappears, it's just a matter of how much you've buried that kid.

hope i win. a wii would bring the kid out in me!!!!!!!!!!!!
We go on weekend trips to out of state craft shows, flower shows and anything we want. We have wonderful families that take over while we are gone having fun! In our hotel room, we are like a bunch of school girls again.....We laugh so hard, we cry. Thanks,Cindi
After the birth of our first child, I swear I was 10 years younger, gooing & gaaing. That has now turned into ticking them till they scream, pillow fights, playing cars on the floor and eating food at "their restaurant" every weekend morning.
I was not lucky enough to have a good father, but that life experiance has taught me to enjoy every laugh, tantrum, kiss & knee to the groin (well maybe not that!)
i really love to win the prizes! hope i'll win! thanks a lot!
I've been looking at the Wii for quite a while now, and I KNOW it would definitely make me more kid-like, which would be so awesome, dude! (Trying for early pubescence-speak...is it working for ya?)
Current kid-like (compared to juvenile) activities: I am a junkie for thrill rollercoasters. I also love cannonballing into the pool and splashing around, and my absolute fave has got to be pool volleyball.
I hope I get the chance to win the Wii. Thanks!
What brings out the child in me is the stoooooopid rule that I can't win the Nintendo Wii!!
*boohoo*
*stamps foot*
*cries*
Why can't I win? It isn't fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The child in me" at D is for Dad
Why would that be bad? Because I'd either have to reveal my real name or forfeit the prize.
Such is life.
Congratulations on your new little one.
Here's my post:
