intentional play

so i'm having lots of free time with my baby these days.

every morning we have moments to be together.

she is a pretty independent player, which makes it sorta tricky.

and because she plays so well on her own, i will sheepishly admit that i spend time going through emails and blogs after my older two leave for school.

it's so quiet in the house.

i have a cup of coffee.

i sit and read a bit.

but then i feel guilty.

i know time is precious and short in these younger years.

so i have to be intentional.

i have to stop what i'm doing and go and spend time with her.

and every time i do, i love it!

she is hilarious!

i love her little character!

and i wonder why i don't make it more of a priority.

so that's what i'm trying to do... take hold of these precious moments and don't let them pass me by.

am i the only one that struggles with this?

tell me i'm not alone?

here we are, playing cars...
