Welcome!  My name is Jen, founder of the April 1999 Babies Club, a 

Yahoo Club which began in April of 1999.  However, we welcome 

parents of ALL 1999 Babies.  I have to honestly say, I have met some

great women in this club and am proud to say they are wonderful 

mommies!  If you would like to join us, just follow our logo below. 

Thanks for visiting!    

                                                                                       ~Jen~  

Just Play

When I'm building in the block room,

Please don't say I'm "just playing."

For, you see, I'm learning as I play;

About balance and shapes.

When I'm getting all dressed up,

Setting the table, caring for the babies,

Don't get the idea I'm "just playing."

For, you see, I'm learning as I play;

I may be a mother or a father someday.

When you see me up to my elbows in paint,

Or standing at an easel, or molding and shaping clay,

Please don't let me hear you say, "He is just playing."

For, you see, I'm learning as I play.

I'm expressing myself and being creative.

I may be an artist or an inventor someday.

When you see me sitting in a chair

"Reading" to an imaginary audience,

Please don't laugh and think I'm "just playing."

For, you see, I'm learning as I play.

I may be a teacher someday.

When you see me combing the bushes for bugs,

Or packing my pockets with choice things I find,

Don't pass if off as "just play."

For, you see, I'm learning as I play.

I may be a scientist someday.

When you see me engrossed in a puzzle,

Or some "plaything" at my school,

Please don't feel the time is wasted in "play."

For, you see, I'm learning as I play.

I'm learning to solve problems and concentrate.

I may be in business someday.
