Have I ever mentioned how much I enjoy quiet time? I love to be around the girls and all the noise they make in our house. It would feel really weird without it. But everyday I try to make "quiet time" happen...for everyone's sake. When the 2 younger ones take a nap, the 2 older are required to have quiet time in their room. Meaning no talking for at least 30 minutes. I play a cd for them, and when the cd is over they are allowed to play quietly. Many times they ask "Why?", if they are being quiet can they just play together. I tell them, everyone needs a little space...even if just for 30 minutes. Even though they share a room, I request that they do not talk for that 30 minutes (although some days they still do...quietly) because there are days when everyone gets on each other's nerves and such. So, I feel it's good for them to just read a book to themselves or draw to quiet their minds for just a short time...and sometimes even they fall asleep. I like our quiet time...even if just for 30 minutes.
