a typical day in the kahaialii household...
school, work (byuh/pcc), gym (don't get it twisted - that's all brandon), homework, housework and laundry, more work (island transporter/pcc), cooking, baths, then finally my favorite time of the day - my babies.
i have a notebook that i keep in my purse, and each day i make a list...errands to run, bills to pay, groceries to buy, phone calls to make, things to clean, etc. by the end of the day, it would be a miracle in itself if i had crossed everything off my list. although i try to get a lot of things done every day, i really want to get into the habit of focusing more on what my babies are asking of us. if it's not for a drink of water, it's usually a book-reading request, an iron-man playfest, doll feeding, or a navy seal covert op under the bed. it's been a very bad habit of mine to casually brush off their pleadings and deem them a waste of time...how horrible of a parent was i planning to be?! no longer will i be that fuam...no more.
i am recommitting myself to pay attention to their invitations...no matter how small or insignificant they may seem at the time. because to them - every request is important. how do you find time for your little one's constant requests? how do you make your child feel special on a daily basis?
