So im spending time with my son 1-2days a week. He just turned 2 so he doesnt speak much yet. Whats the best things we should do/is there something i definitely should buy? Any tips?
1-2 days a week?? That's like nothing! Why so little?
I spend every awaken moment, that I do not work, with or around my 2 kids. One is 5 months and one is 4 years old.
First thing I do when I get home from work is giving my kids hugs and kisses. Do some playtime with the older one, if he wants it, if he does not I cuddle some more with my little one. Their mom have been with them the entire day, so now it's my turn!!
If I'm not directly interacting with either of them. Like the big one is playing on his own, or with his mom, and the little one is sleeping, or playing in at her play table, I am at least nearby. And if I'm in a different room my 4 year old can always come over to me if he needs me for anything.
Everyday we make sure the big kid gets to play outdoors, either I go out with him or his mom.. the parent who did not go out stay with the baby. Quite often all four of us go out and play. Baby on a blanket in the grass. Even if we only have time for 20 minutes!
My own me time gets to wait until both kids are asleep.
When my kids is sleeping for the night, and I'm at the PC gaming, my headset is only covering one ear, so I can hear if either of them wakes up.
