Being A Kid Today

I am always amazed at what is available for kids today compared to when I was growing up.  I guess my parents felt the same when I was a kid.  The only thing that concerns me is that with all of the electronics in today’s world, kids are inadvertently encouraged to live more dormant lives.  As a parent this can make it more difficult to encourage your children to play outdoors and get some exercise!

My adorable little five year old son has a big birthday coming up, (hey when you’re his age any birthday is BIG and EXCITING!)   Thankfully he does enjoy playing outside on the humungous swing set that my husband built for the kids last year.  He tells us that this year for his birthday he really wants a kids drum set.  I think that this would be a wonderful gift as it can also teach him the importance of rhythm and timing.   Again my husband and I are amazed at the wide variety of drums for kids available today!  I think that we will opt for a three piece childrens drum set as that seems like the most appropriate fit for him right now.  I know that on May 30th we will have one happy little boy in our house!  My husband and I will just have to prepare ourselves for the inevitable noise, oh well!
