When we decided that I would stay home with the boys, I had the idea that I could multitask quite productively. Certainly I planned to engage in active play and learning with the boys, but I believed there would also be a great deal of computer time available for me. I saw myself in a large room typing away peacefully while the boys played independently on the floor a few away. There was some of that early, but as soon as they could crawl, Trey Davey and Benji wanted to do whatever I was doing. It became impossible for me to work with them in the room, because I received more help than I could handle. Little hands would push buttons indiscriminately creating utter havoc. The multitasking thing was a good idea that just didn’t work.
