Mum's the Word: It pays to play with our children – we just need to use our imagination

My cousin Curtis (don’t worry he’s not Curtis Curtis) has always been more like a brother to my sister and I and when he became a father at 26 we pretty much stole his son, Skyler, from him to claim him as our own.

For the first two years of Sky’s life I would take the subway in Toronto after my classes finished in University to babysit him and I looked so forward to it each time.
