With Tamar out of town, I had plenty of 1:1 and 1:2 time with the kids this weekend. While it was often hectic, there were times when I found myself just sitting and watching them play.
It's kind of like a gardener admiring his plants. At any given moment, you know it is growing, but, of course, it's a miniscule change at that time.
As Calanit played with her blocks and Paco sat quietly (for once!) and watched a DVD, I just thought, "wow, my kids are growing here. They are in the process of developing into the people they will become."
It was a beautiful feeling.
