[quote=Anonymous]It's hard at the ages your kids are at right now. I agree with the suggestion of "naming" the time so the kids recognize it as 1 on 1 time. Another thing to keep in mind that it doesn't have to be very long. Even 10-15 minutes of *uninterrupted* time goes a long way. My kids are older now, but even when they were younger they quickly understood when someone was having "Mommy time" and were pretty respectful of it. With the baby, if you can sometimes say "Baby, you'll have to wait. I'm having time with Kid right now" ... obviously, not if it's anything unsafe for the baby or if they're really frantic, but it helps your older kids to know that sometimes the baby has to wait too.
