Every kid needs a little bit of one-on-one time once in a while. After a particularly emotional day with the kids, I decided to get a sitter and take each kid on a 30 minute date to get a treat and talk about whatever they wanted.
I left 2 of the kids with the sitter and took the other one to get a treat of their choice, and then after 30 minutes switched. It worked great. It was just what these kids needed.
This cute 6 year old wanted a donut, so I took him to Krispy Kreme. He loved it.
Jamba Juice was the treat of choice for my favorite 10 year old.
My sweet Lily wanted a "pink shake" so I took her over to McDonalds for her treat.
I am so glad I did this I may make it a weekly event. It's amazing what a little one-on-one time does for a kid.
This is a very neat idea. Not sure how to implement it in our small town though. Our kids sure wouldn't have a choice. Could just take them over one at a time for a soft serve ice cream cone. But that would only be in the winter. Gotta think on this.
