My kids love it — because they don't have to share the attention!
. But since our kids have been toddlers, my husband and I have tried to incorporate regular one-on-one"dates" with them. My husband and I found it was necessary to split up once in a while so that we could spend more quality time with that one child. It's been aThis past Christmas, we gifted our children a one-on-one date because we knew that they would get spoiled by everyone else in the family.
It was decided: my husband would take our 4-year-old daughter to one major city in Michigan, and I'd take our 6-year-old son to another. My son and I immediately got to planning. We definitely wanted to hit up the great children's museum, the local shop, and take a swim in the hotel pool. Staying up way past bedtime was obviously going to be another perk. Plus, I had another trick up my sleeve.My son is obsessed with fishing. He could fish all day long and not catch a single minnow and still love it. And during an oddly warm January day in Michigan, that was just the surprise I knew he'd love. I secretly hid his fishing pole in the trunk under a couple of blankets and shoved his tackle box in there, too.
The fact that he got to spend time with just his mother doing his favorite thing in the world made for the perfect day. This memory of just the two of us will be ingrained in me forever, and hopefully my son, too. Next, my daughter will be up for a little , and I'm sure it will be just as memorable as the one with her dad. Because it's this alone time with my children that I know I'll savor forever.
