Toes and One on One Time

I have to write about the best part of vacation. On Thursday, Emily and I got to go and get a pedicure. Yes, I had my first pedicure in my 20's and my daughter had her first when she's six. Something is just so wrong about that. She watched me as I got mine done and she just kept getting more and more excited and giddy about it. When it was her turn she was so stinkin cute. She was smiling and laughing and talking to me about everything. When they were scrubbing her feet she was trying so hard not to laugh and giggle because it tickled her so much. We had a great time.

At the end of the day she told me it was her best day on vacation because she got to do something just with me and no one else. This really made me feel like I was so special to Emily and it also made me think how one on one time with our kids is so important. We try to do so many things together as a family and we try to individual things with our kids but so often it is as a family. The time I spend with each of my kids along is so awesome. They have your individual attention and they will just talk your ear off but it is wonderful. So my goal is going to make an extra effort to set up time with my kids individually and it doesn't have to be a big deal it could just be taking one child to run errands and stop to get an ice cream on the way home. Right now they love spending time with us and if make an effort now maybe when they are teenager they won't hate us as much=)
