As creepy as the title of this blog may sound, there is so much truth behind it! Relationships require work, and the relationships that I have with my kids are no different. Derik and I try to go on dates as often as our budget and our schedule allow. Sometimes we double with other couples we love, but getting out together for some "adult" time in which no one has to check on a child, change a diaper, or listen to whining because those aren't the right pajamas, IS REALLY IMPORTANT!As a stay at home mom, I spend a LOT of time with my kids. Some days I think they are just as in need of time without me as I am in need of time without them! I mean, it is hard to miss someone who is never gone! I try to spend one on one time with each of my kids, but scheduling that in can be tough.
Today, I took Abbie to the pool. Just her and I, and she had a blast! She LOVES her brother, but sometimes she needs time to just be Abbie!!! Since Brady wasn't with us, she was able to jump right in the pool, eat when she wanted, and stay later than usual! She had a BLAST, and I got a few cute pictures of her in action.
Derik got to spend one on one time with Brady while we were there, and tomorrow... he is taking Abbie on a date! So, he will get to spend some time with her, and I will get to spend some time with Brady!
She just loves the water!
Jumping in over and over is her favorite pool pastime!
She was able to swim with 3 of her girl friends today too! Kalli, Camryn, and Lexi.
Kalli - has the pink swim cap on in the front of the picture
Camryn - has on the purple floaties
Lexi - is not pictured
Random Blonde Girl - she just walked into the picture at the wrong time!!!
Fun! Glad you got out for one on one with Abbie. I know it meant a lot to her.
ReplyDeleteIt meant a lot to her mommy too!
