Comments on: A Whole New Miles

I wish I was blogging when my babies were babies. You’re going to be so thankful when he’s seven, eight and nine and you have these posts you can read to him about HIM when he was little. When you read this one to Miles you can say, See Miles? See? We had time together!! You and Me Time!!

I used to write this stuff down, the new words my son learned in one week, or the toys he was playing with lately, but they’re on little scraps of paper. Not in one book. One day, I tell myself, one day I will be a scrap booker and all these little scraps of progress will be in one location. In chronological order!

But you! You have it here in your blog to pass on. You win Mother of the Year.

Great ideas. Hubby travels a lot so it is hard. I think I will try to take Miles out of school ona day Sophia is in to have some time with him. We should be able to swing 1 day a month – for the 2 months until the baby comes!

Greg and I make it a point to have at least one night/day a month with Jackson/London. Whomever is with Jackson is spending time with London, and vice versa. Greg has the type of job where he can take Jackson to work with him, which he does at least once a month, which has been great! I get London all day (who knew only having one kid felt like a vacation?) and Greg gets boy time. Not sure if that’s possible in your family or not. Or you could find a friend to do kid swaps with. So, one day you’d drop Sophia off at a playmate’s house (or Miles if you want a Sophia day) and then you’d swap (the next week the playmate would be dropped off at your house so the other mom could get out).

My daughter and I say “Best friends forever” and do the pinky swear thing every night too – so cute! I love it when I’m able to spend time alone with each of my kids – you really do get to see the unique aspects of their personalities during a little one on one time. Nice post!

Miles sounds so precious!!! That’s wonderful you were able to spend some alone time with him. I hope you’re able to do it more often- what a joy it must have been! I only have Nathan… he has no siblings just yet… but I’m already wondering how I’m going to handle the whole Mommy Alone Time when and if we have another baby.

Mine are 19 mo apart, too. (I think that’s a reason I like your blog so much!) Anyways, I never thought about this before… spending time with my JJ alone. Well, he’s only 7 months… but in the future that sounds good. I think we have the opposite situation though. Lil is quite, passive, and very soft spoken at two. At seven months, JJ already steals the spot light. I’ve been so concerned with making sure she (Lil) and I still have time that I haven’t thought about being alone with him… other than nursing and sleeping! Maybe in a couple of years…

And, you amaze me! I could not imagine being preggers right now! PLUS, the stress you are going through. I admire your strength and sanity.

I think you’ve figured it out that it takes spending unique time with each child. It can be a challenge no matter what the ages but totally worth it.

We have little “traditions”– special times which is just for the one child. With my son, it’s going on adventure walks outside. With my daughter is scrapbooking.

Always a good time!

I hear you. I have 4 kids, and creating the time to be one-on-one with all of them, is a challenge. I know I need to get better at that. Seems the kid who screams the loudest gets my attention…
