M.P.
Just wanted to jump in with a little advice. I was the same as you with my boys-they always wanted to play and I would put them off b/c there was so much housework to do and I really didn't get how to play like a boy with them. My boys are in school full time now and my house is finally neat but boy do I MISS them and I cry for the times that I wasn't available to play with them....never again will I be asked to "please play Thomas! Please Mommy!" The toys are all gone now- replaced with video games and sports - and they don't ask me to play anymore. So I guess what I am saying to you is to try to make time once in a while to get down there with your son and play. The time really does go so fast.
