Goes a little something like this. When Dylan wakes up we bring him in our room for our little family snuggle time with some cartoons. After about 30 minutes we move to the great room as by then Dylan is ready to eat. When I feed Dylan Greg heads to our favorite breakfast place to get himself a breakfast burrito and of course an Acai bowl for me, well and a little donut treat added in there! I could sit here and write our whole day but what it pretty much comes down to is "Sunday Family Day" is my favorite day of the week.
I feel it is very important to have at least one or two days out of the week to spend as a family.Try to pick a tradition on those days as it makes it that much more heartfelt and exciting to look forward to. For our family it is very important that we have our family days. As two full time working parents as our weeks are so busy we don't usually get that quality time as a family during the week, so weekends are very important to us. Tuesday is another day for us in the Lopez house. It may not be so much for Dylan but I make that night for Greg and I. I usually cook up an amazing "Taco Tuesday" and we have a little date night in our kitchen. We turn our cell phones off ,all computers and enjoy our quality time together with one of our favorite TV shows or if we can stay up a movie.
As a parent, you need to make sure the family interaction on family nights or family days stays and remains positive and if you have small kids this should be fun for them. When you and your family spend time together on a regular basis, you have a better chance of bonding and reconnecting. If your children are still young and just starting out ( like us) family nights will instill in them the value of family.
So what exactly do you do on your family nights? Whatever works for you as a family!
Happy sunday everyone! Hope you are enjoying your rainy weekend as we are inside today by the fire.
