We would sit, sing and play games as I kissed her face a thousand times. She was breast fed and since I was a working mom, I pumped.

Before I can finish tending to one child, the next child is pulling me the other way or yelling my name at the top of their lungs…and they usually want absolutely nothing. Lol. I am tending to my children, but am I missing out on what my child really needs?
