For most of Babykins' life, my biggest challenge as a stay at home mom has been her short attention span. When she would only focus on an activity for 5 minutes at a time, filling a 10 hour day is a challenge. Even taking out 2 hours for nap, that's still 96 activities required to take us through until daddy gets home.
Recently, though, I've been having the opposite challenge. Babykins got a dollhouse for Christmas, and she has a looooong attention span when it comes to playing with it. We're talking a good hour, at least. Maybe longer. The problem is that Babykins isn't content to play with it on her own. I have to play, too. And my dollhouse attention span is roughly...5 minutes.
In an effort to be a good mommy, I can last for a half hour. But I never thought I'd see the day when my toddler's attention span outlasted mine.
