A couple of my favourite kiddie activities:

Reading.  This was when the house was oh, so quiet earlier this morning.  Julien was napping and Milan and I were reading independently.  All you could hear were the sounds of her opening the flaps of her peek-a-boo counting book, the occasional car outside, and the pages of my novel being turned.     

Music time.  The kids and I often fight over the rainbow xylophone.  My favourite songs to play on it are from The Sound of Music but Milan often requests The A.B.C. song.  We also have a mini baby grand piano that the children love to play.
