Since it's only my youngest and I for the next week, I'm thinking that I want to make our time together count a little more. I don't feel like I give a "fair amount" of "mommy time" to my children individually. I do what "I can," but really I want to do more...
So, I've decided when my little one awakens me in the morning (in a short-few hours), we're having school today. She's going to be shocked to see that I've set-up our homework and craft center on the dining room table. I'm calling myself out so I've prepared accordingly...
I'm also thinking about making sure, that my eldest gets her "mommy time" with me accordingly when she returns home. My daughters are over 7-years apart. Their difference in age is so relevant. I'm beginning to realize "this" in a way that I haven't before.
All day (today), my youngest and I will play in a manner that my eldest would quickly be bored with. When we're all together there are many "things," that my eldest understands, yet are incomprehensible for my youngest. Parenting is such a delicate responsibility...
As I learn more for myself, I'm doing my best to teach patience to each. One almost knows. One doesn't know yet. Sometimes, neither of them know any better.
How well "can" I teach?
