A quiet night with just Clair

Tonight the big kids went to a school dance with daddy and granny. I stayed home with Clair. We had macaroni cheese and tomato for dinner. We then played a bit. Clair had a nice bath and I put her to bed for an early sleep because she was exhausted from the day.

So many things to do with my extra quiet time. It is rare for me to get to put my focus into chest clear without guilt taking away from the time with the other children. Tonight I had no guilt, and it was so relaxing. Instead of rushing her into her crib so I could spend the last few waking moment with Max and Ellie, I held her for a good 40 minutes after she fell asleep. I love the extra guilt free cuddles.

The hardest thing about being the mother of three is feeling like I am gypping one child when I spend extra time with the other. I hope I find a way to get over that, because one-on-one time is fantastic with the children!!!!
