Although I can see that being more of a challenge depending on Paul's schedule. Right now I go up and lay down and cuddle with Patch at bedtime every night (and if he thinks he's not going to get his 15 minutes of snuggle time he is hysterical) and then Sadie and I get one on one time after that for a few hours after everyone goes to bed. At James of course gets a ton because we cosleep and he's always strapped onto my chest. The hardest to fit in time for is Mae. Usually our one on one time comes on the way to her many appointments. But she's a big fan of getting to come upstairs and snuggle with me in the big bed, so I think I'm going to make that a daily thing. Of course there are bigger moments (like taking Sadie to the ballet) but I've found the day to day check ins are the most important for us in making life just all around better!<br /><br />Birthdays on the other hand tend to be more of a big family event around here, although that might change when they're older if they had a specific request.Cammie Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137080807945525006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-44106526336919829272014-11-15T10:11:23.361-05:002014-11-15T10:11:23.361-05:00With each child it seems to me that the first year...With each child it seems to me that the first year goes by faster. With #5 I coslept as long as I could just because snuggled in bed at night was the only time I got to spend 1 on 1 with her. There is no price you can put on giving your kids a sibling, but you might need to be more deliberate about finding that 1 on 1 time. Worth it though!
