Ah, I guess I've taken a week off of blogging and I hadn't been going very long. Not really a good start for my goal. I haven't done anything major either so it's probably ok that I took a bit of a break. But since that's what this blog is about then I kinda missed the mark too.
Today I didn't do anything amazing. I did do something important the last few days though that I have continued to do today. It's probably one of those more important things I could be doing. My oldest has had a bit of a time getting into Kindergarten and had a rough adjustment at first so I put a lot of attention on him for the last little bit. I realized a few days ago that my second is struggling with all the lack of attention which is really more like added attention to #1 and not #2. So I've added more attention to #2. I let my husband snuggle the baby at night and put #3 to bed while I snuggled #2. It's been really good.
I feel like I've been growing more distant with her and this has been very rejuvenating for our little relationship. I've gotten even more hugs and kisses and Eskimo kisses which are not usually acceptable to give her but she has loved them and given them. I've put extra effort into it and it's paid off in a way I guess I didn't really expect. She's been happier and less temper tantrums for sure! It takes effort to give the extra little loves here and there but with #4 coming in May I think I need to get as much practice as possible now because I get the feeling it's going to be even more needed soon.
