The last two nights my husband has came home from work and asked what I did with the kids differently; a schedule, a nap, did they see someone, what!? Because everyone was in such great moods. Sadly the thing that was different was I didnt have a phone all day. I was 100000x more attentive, they stayed at one activity 100000x longer, the house was cleaner, I actually ate (ok I ate a lot), we danced longer, we read longer, we talked a whole lot more, we exercised, I wasnt asking anyone to wait until I finished sending this text or writing this post, I wasnt wasting nap time scrolling down my feed, I didnt take extra long in the bathroom on the phone, I didnt nurse while on the phone. I felt a whole lot of guilt when my replacement phone came and my 1 year old son went, grabbed it and brought it to me! We are the generation of technology, I know Im not alone. Nothing I can do about the past, only what I can do tomorrow & the future. Lesson learned, being in the moment is a thousand times more important than having my child remember me with a dumb phone in front of my face!
