In the ongoing effort to make each child in our family feel special and individual, today we started “special time”. Special time is when one child has one-on-one time with one parent. Andrew went first and dad took him to Starbucks to have coffee talk with him and teach some new life lessons.
Among the lessons taught were…
- How to properly remove a straw from it’s paper wrapping.
- How to hang your coat on the back of your chair instead of just tossing it on the floor.
- How to properly navigate the iPhone interface and take photos with the built in camera.
We also stopped to “catch a train” on the way home. Today it was two freight trains heading in opposite directions (and on different tracks).
All in all, it was an awesome way to start the weekend.
