Going Kilted with Kiddies

[Highlander31]

After a while it just becomes second nature. The last two items for me are the kilt and then the sporran.

When my children were at that age, I would make sure they could see me while I was getting dressed. Talking and other small interactions is great for those growing (and curious) minds. It takes a little longer to finish dressing, but in the rush of our every day lives, I found it to be a great way to spend time with the children. I did it with all seven children, and I am thankful I did. On some of the more hectic days, that turned out to be the only time I was able to spend with them.

Congratulations on the start of a wonderful part of life.

Much the same thing I did all through the growing years of both my own and when we were keeping some of the Grandkids on a regular basis.

My best advice is to give them as much time as you can, and enjoy each age (phase) as they grow up too quickly and leave home. No, I never wanted it otherwise, it is just that tempus do fugit as my old Latin teacher used to say.
