(I didn't have a picture of the 2 of them that was decent. I liked this one because my usually photogenic daughter refused this night to have her pic taken)
Lately, I have been thinking about my parenting skills. I often wonder if I am the best Mom to my children. I know I love them both more than anything in the world, but am I living up to my potential? I think not! I have decided that my kids deserve the best in life and it is my responsibility to give it to them. So, with that said, I am setting new goals...1- Do something fun as a family once a week. It can be anything from a free movie or museum, seeing a new movie, going to a local farm, fair, parade, or just going on a hike or a walk in the park. I want us, as a family to enjoy our time together.
2-I have started a new bedtime routine. First, bath time followed by a family book. Then I rock AB for a few minutes before she goes to sleep. Then some snuggle time with the V-man.
3- We also eat as many meals through the day as a family. All four of us!!
4-Once a week a fun after school event with Valentin and AB. This could be as simple as the park, a play date with a friend, Happy Hour (ice cream or sweet Tea), or checking out a book at the Library.
5-Make more time during the day with AB. She is my Baby girl and is growing up way too fast. More play dates with her friends and maybe a dance class.
I think those are reasonable goals. Any fun suggestions? I am always looking for fun ways to spend with my family...
