When Kubla learned to crawl, he would want to join the games of his older cousins. But it’s hard to play soccer with a baby on the field. We needed to find a new game.

So we invented Baby Tag. The older boys run around chasing each other. I hold Kubla in the middle of the action. Kubla is base—touch him and you’re safe. Unless he farts or giggles, in which case you are frozen for 5 seconds.

Kubla loves playing with the Big Boys. Now the big boys beg to include him in their games.

How do you involve your little ones in big kid games?

In two weeks I’ll give a free Kidorable Umbrella to whoever makes my favorite comment.
