Starting Monday, a classmate of Kristin's will be coming home with us and staying here until her mom gets off work at 5:30. This is fantastic because Kristin has sorely needed someone to play with, for a long time. It is very hard raising a single kid and not falling victim to having the tv become a babysitter. Her attention span is still about 30 minutes or so, so it's constantly a chore finding stuff for her to do, or encouraging her to find something to do all day.
I know that having a playmate over all afternoon 5 days a week, it's only a matter of time before the 'sibling' type of battles begin, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. After 5 years of feeling guilty because I can't play with her all day, I'm really looking forward to this change.
