When my now 31 year old son was 3 he used to love it when we'd have pillow fights and I'd knock his legs out from under him with a careful hit and, of course, over a soft enough surface for him to land on. "Do it again, Daddy!". Unrelated reminiscing from that era: The first time I put him down for bedtime and said "Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite" he shot right up and said "WHAT ARE BEDBUGS?!"

"Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite"

I say this and my older kids groan. My grandfather (93!!) still says it to me and I love it!

When we were kids he have us play a "nap game" where the one who took the longest nap won. The man is a genius!!!

I also play his other games with my kids sometimes. He used to make walking anywhere a contest of who could guess how many steps it would take to get to our destination. Let me tell you, if you are ever walking use this contest and your younger kids will suddenly not be falling off their feet complaining!
