Tatum inspires me. She influences me to be my best self in all ways. How does she do this? Her imagination, which is prompted by events that take place during her day, creates such fun for me to watch. For example, she was sad that the Dr. Seuss show that we were to attend was cancelled. Apparently this affected her hopscotch game which she was to play during “naptime.”
She arranges books to make a path, and then has her “friends” play with her. When I went in to get her from this quiet time, I found her reading book upon book.
She said, “Mommy, the hopscotch game was cancelled, so I am reading instead.” OH! Well, that is a brilliant idea! 
The things she thinks of to do during this quiet unstructured time inspires me. Yes, she makes a huge mess, and she we clean it up, yet the cookies she bakes or how she dresses up her dolls or writes in her “journey” (a little notebook I got her)… they all make for a creatively wired kiddo.
And how has it helped me be more creative????? Stay tuned.
