Hard to Play

Mary is sad at times when she realizes she can't play things she used to play. Her little sister is struggling with it too and struggles to find activities to suggest that they can do together. Family and friends have been incredibly generous with gifts of books, arts, and crafts. So they have a lot of new fun and exciting activities that they are enjoying but the loss of what they can't do is present for both of them. Play dates are great but they also bring up the fact that she has to play differently now. She can't run around the house and do anything she wants to.  We (the parents) can easily hold on to the fact that we are lucky this is a temporary "problem" but it is hard for the girls. One activity Mary can still do so she loves to play it is Lego's. She has a wonderful imagination so it is naturally fun for her.

Playing Lego's like the Good Old Days
