Parenting can feel like a lot of busy without much one on one time. I challenge you to create a "thing" with each of your kids. By thing, I mean have a special activity or point of connection. Over the past few years, I have been doing this with my 2 youngest (we have 4, but 2 at home). With my daughter, we do H & R's or hike and reads. We both love to read, so we will hike a trail, take some food and books and have some pretty awesome talks. With my son, we were doing Kung Fu, but we may be switching gears on that one. The point is to do something together, connect and in doing so communicate how precious they are to you. If you haven't already realized it, the parenting thing goes by fast. Let us know if you already have a "thing" or when you create one. I promise it's worth the effort.
