Running through the house

[2cuteboys]

I also let the kids run. Probably pretty ballsy, since they like to run around my kitchen island and we have slate floors... I don't let the youngest do it, and don't let them do it when he's around and not in a high chair. Other than him the youngest is my son and he's a tough little bugger. Other dck's are almost 3 and almost 4, so I'm not overly worried about injuries, I just get them to put all the toys away before they really start going so they don't trip.

If I want them to stop I usually have to warn them a couple of times and actually set them up with toys to play since they will go right back to running if they aren't engaged. I'll usually do a group story time or puzzles/play doh at the table.
