It's so lovely to have some one-on-one time with Owen while Carson is at preschool. It was easy to give Carson the attention he needed because it was just him and me all day. But with 2 kids in the mix, I sometimes struggle with making sure they are each getting the individual mom-time they need. I feel it's so important that Carson and Owen's individual needs are being met, and I want to be sure to recognize each one's different interests and personalities and not just lump them together. I get such mommy guilt if I feel like I'm spending more time with one child than the other(although Owen needs a bit more attention because of his age), but we've come up with a pretty good daily schedule where we have together play-time and one-on-one play/learning time throughout the day. Here are a few pictures of Owen and I taken while Carson was away at school.

| Ok, so I promise Owen and I don't just clean the entire time Carson is at school, haha! But he has become my best little helper. He loves to help me load the dishwasher (although I usually have to redo it), and he absolutely loves to help me with laundry (putting it in the washer, putting it in the dryer, folding it, you name it!) I think it's adorable how accomplished he looks once he's helped me with a chore. |

| Please disregard my messy fridge, but since Owen could walk, everytime I open the fridge door, he goes and sits in it. It's so funny! Hmmm.....maybe it's his way of telling us to turn down the AC! :) |
 |
| Owen loves to shoot some hoops in the backyard, or sit on the ground and roll a ball back and forth. |

| my handsome boy :) |

| Owen and Mama. Owen will now hug me or lay his head on me and say "mom". It melts my heart. If I tell him, "I love you." He will reply back something like "la oo". I really need to fix our video recorder! |
 |
| He fell asleep with his book in the car. He loves his books right now, which makes it easy to entertain him in the car. |
 |
| I'm trying to let him feed himself, but he makes quite a mess! |

He's getting to big! And I know what you mean, it's so nice to get to spend time with just Sophie while Katie is in school, she's like a totally different child and she loves having me to herself. :)
