One-on-One Time with the Kids

I get lots of one-on-one time with Nolan while Keaton is at school but I get very little with Keaton.  TJ doesn't get a lot of one-on-one with either kids for obvious reasons (working).  But he has been getting a lot with Nolan lately and I can tell how much Nolan loves it!  I guess him and Keaton playing video games counts too even though the rest of us are around.  They just ignore us while they are in their gaming world.

Since Nolan and I are together a lot our time isn't as "special" unless we do something out of the ordinary.  It was really nice a few days ago so we went to the park for the first time in months.  We both had so much fun.  It was amazing to see how much he has changed since he was last at a park.  He was interacting with other kids and even became buddies with a 5 year old.  I haven't witnessed him interacting with other kids except when Keaton is around but I think he's finally getting to that age.

Today I got to spend almost the whole day with Keaton.  Usually our friends come skiing with us but they were sick so it was just him and I.  He didn't want to play his video game player on the way there so we talked the whole time (hour and a half).  It was great.  It was great to have lunch with just him.  And share an activity with just him.  He went on the chair lift last weekend and didn't fall at all skiing down.  Today he went on the chair lift 3 times and only fell a couple of times.  He's doing really well and today his teacher spotted him after class and was impressed on how well he was skiing.  None of the other kids in his class has been on the chair lift yet, I take him after class is over.
