Today Savannah got something that she hasn't been getting very often these days. She got a whole day of quality one on one time. Even better, it was with Bob! Our struggle with her jealousy and feelings of being left out has been ongoing... some days are better than others. It has improved a lot since school started, but there still are some days that she gets jealous. While I am constantly trying to explain to her why brother or whoever else gets and needs that extra attention, it's hard at times because I can see where she is coming from. The truth of the matter is that she rarely ever gets one on one time with anyone. There is always someone else... a sibling, another baby, a cousin, a friend, a teammate... you get the picture. So when my dad asked if he could take her all day to go do stuff, I quickly said yes. They didn't go do anything huge or crazy or over the top... they went and did normal everyday things that would be so much more enjoyable for her without anyone else there to share Bob with. It seems so simple and ordinary, but this is exactly the type of day Savannah needed. Starbucks, mall, movie, pet store... she had such a good time. It was the perfect amount of Savannah time... her batteries are recharged and she is feeling very loved.
