That's my main way of spending quality time. I don't have a whole day to spend with one or alone. One day it may be a few stories read to just one child, another day it's someone coming with me during an errand, and other times it may be just snuggling together while reading or surfing the computer or just on the couch. I don't plan them, they seem to occurr naturally. If someone's been acting up a lot, than I try to purposely spend a bit more time with them. That helps.sajmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09208620353040414067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27767365.post-9570892231519629052008-11-19T11:36:00.000-06:002008-11-19T11:36:00.000-06:00I completely agree with you!I completely agree with you!Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11580151113751271906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27767365.post-2853346508215240172008-11-18T20:41:00.000-06:002008-11-18T20:41:00.000-06:00Great idea.

We especially try to get a little extra one-on-one time in during the several weeks leading up to a new baby's arrival! It gets tricky though as they get older and want more talking time.<BR/>MandyNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27767365.post-40899775752607734812008-11-18T14:15:00.000-06:002008-11-18T14:15:00.000-06:00I found you through the link.

Thanks for sharing. I like this idea & I need to try implementing this more. I only have three at this point.berrypatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549788623907370094noreply@blogger.com
