I like to think of this as "slow parenting"...sort of like the "slow cooking" trend and with many of the same benefits. Hard to do but so worthwhile. Well done, Jen.

We should feel pretty good about that, eh? Thanks for pointing that out. :) That's a great thing for us all to keep in mind. Wow, I hadn’t thought of it that way, but yes, you’re right.

It really is so hard to put the schedule on hold. I feel so bad for the times I pushed on through in the morning because I couldn't be late for work. I'm an expert at guilting myself so when I don't have to be somewhere, I'll make the time for them because I'm so very sorry for upsetting them earlier by not taking the time.

That means a lot coming from you! I sure hope to have a good strong family tradition of special time with the kids were they each get weekly special time with each of us by the time they're teens.

Nice. I see you also participate in "tag team parenting" -- that is, you came in for the second round when daddy was used up, but didn't go against any of daddy's prior work (she still had to take her bath and get undressed).

What an inspiring example. This is so hard for me to do...to put my own schedule on hold for a minute (or 40) and connect one on one with my children, instead of trying to prove to them that I am in charge.
