Sandy and I look for one-on-one time with each of the boys. On several occasions one or the other has accompanied me to the grocery while the other stayed home with Mommy. These are excellent opportunities for the boys to bond with us as individuals rather than as half of a matched set. On a recent Saturday morning Sandy took Trey Davey with her to make waffles. She explained each step and item and he repeated her. They chopped nuts, cracked eggs, mixed and measured the milk, oil and mix, and then they stirred ‘round in circles’. He helped set the table and pour the juice. Then, while we all enjoyed breakfast, he told us repeatedly “I helped Mommy, I helped Mommy”.
