I think the most peaceful times for me is when my parents are affectionate and loving towards each other, even though I pretend like I'm going blind from the mush. Okay, I completely agree.

However, we do have some couch time as well but not so often. We will definitely start doing it more. Thank you. My husband and I usually talk when I were are cooking dinner.

Couch Time. It is the best thing and the hardest thing to do. But, oh, the difference it can make. If Zach's behavior gets way out of sorts, generally, we can track it to a busy schedule and little to no couch time. Even 3 times a week can keep him on track, but it is better if we have it more often. And yes, having couch time with your infant is good. We started with Zach as a baby and I think that is why he looks for it to be secure. Recommendation though......mommy needs to pay just as much attention to daddy. So don't cook through couch time every night. Show your kids that dad's day was important too. Although, I must say, I sometimes think that couch time was created so that we women could use up some of our valuable "word limit" to our husbands. What a great invention and it helps your kids feel secure too. It's a win win for everyone.! Thanks for the reminder Angel....Even veteran GKGW parents need a "kick in the pants". Ahhhh. Couch Time.
