After yesterday's drama in my house I woke up with a renewed spirit to begin again with my children whom I intentionally blocked out of my view for the majority of the day.
With me having four children it can be quite a challenge to make sure that everyone is getting the same amount of attention all around.
I can't tell you that I get it right but I know what its like to be the middle kid. So when it comes to Aaliyah who is four years old I really try my best since she is making such strides in her therapies at the child development school that she attends.
Imani gets loads of attention in the form of bank, chauffer, cook instructor etc from me. Timeka get attentiong even though she is currently living with her dad because we IM each other all day everyday.
And KJ with him being the newest additiong to the family he is getting mommie's attention, daddie's attention and everyone elses.
I noticed that Lili is under me all the time since KJ was born and so I like to take time to spend just with her.
We simply go out and have a shopping day together. I tell her to hurry up because we are going to go grocery shopping and she running around her bedroom searching for shoes!
I let her go to the books department of Walmart and let her have at it! She wanted me to buy her the Womans Day Christmas Cookie book but I told her we would have to come back. That was just not on the agenda. Then we went to the toy aisle and goofed off for a while as she marveled at all of the DORA toys and gadgets she could find and beg me for.
We ended up getting food for the house and a new cheap little web cam so we could chat with Timeka live from Milwaukee instead of just IM her.
We sneak and share a huge chocolate chip cookie and stick of sugarless gum on the way home and listen to music in the car bobbing our heads all the way home.
She literally loves those times where it is just she and I. I love to see the smile on her face when she is looking at me and only me knowing that she matters and that this is our special time.
Now if I can keep her like this forever.......but we all know better something soon enough will replace me and I will miss my own child as she lives right under my roof.
Till next time.
