Here is a fun little tradition sent in by the Poppleton family!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
One tradition we kind of stumbled into is "stay up time." Each of
our children has a designated night to stay up half an hour after the
others have gone to bed. It is their "stay up time" and they get to
decide what to do with Mom and Dad's full attention.
Sometimes we play a game - perhaps a board game, a video game, or
even one the child made up on the spot, sometimes it's a play where
Mommy and Daddy happily play whatever part they are assigned, sometimes
they just go out for ice cream with one parent.
It was a little sacrifice for us as parents, but it's amazing how much
the kids look forward to it. They are even excited for each other's
night because it means their night is next!
