No, it's not what it sounds like...mommy having a few cocktails while the kiddos play-I am nursing so no drinks for me...it's just that around 4:30ish I have been dedicating about 2 hours of interactive playtime with my kiddos. I crank the music on my play list, get out all sorts of fun toys for Nicholas and we sing, laugh, and play. We have other periods of playtime during the day, but this playtime is different because it's messy, silly, and totally fun! I just feel like sometimes I have so much to do during the day (laundry, dishes, cooking, cleaning, nursing, etc) that I wasn't spending quality time with my kids which left Nicholas watching way too much Nick Jr. during the day, so I implemented a time that works for all of us to come together and have some fun. 
Nicholas and I did several things tonight...coloring, puzzles, playing cars...but his favorite was stacking and knocking down blocks.
At the end of playtime the kiddos cuddled together while we sang some songs. It was day 2 of playtime happy hour and I am starting to look forward to this time of day when I get to spend quality time with my children!

That is so important! You're wise to set aside time, I just hope we get it in every day, maybe I'll try making time from now on. Keep it up!
What a great idea to set aside a special time for it! It is hard to do when you have so much to take care of around the house. Thanks, you just inspired me to set some special and specific time aside for my munchkins. :)
