A challenge for me during this deployment has been spending quality alone time with each of the girls. I think that is very important for both of them to bond with me apart from their sibling. Well of course when I am the only parent in the house and not a lot of trustworthy babysitters, thats hard to do. But thank you to the movie Gnomeo and Juliet, Sophia and I had a mother/ daughter movie night on the couch. Now of course the 'daddy doll' was with us but other then that, it was her and I. You would have thought I was taking her to Disney land because she was beyond excited!!! She made sure that we each had a snuggie and a pillow. She also pushed the envelope when it came to snacks. We had everything from fruit snacks, to cheese its, to a pint of cookie dough ice cream! She was also trilled knowing that she was up WAY past her bedtime! Throughout the whole movie she kept looking at me and saying " I love you mama!" She doesn't even know how much she melted my heart and I will never forget our special times together. I kept reminding myself to remember this moment and how blessed I am. I need to remember to take for each of my children even if it means breaking my own rules :)
