Every Monday night my husband takes one of our children out on a dad date. When they return home from their date they get to stay up a little late and have one on one time with me. Our 3 year old had his dad date this past week and I went ahead and hit record on my conversation with him. He's only 3 and prefers not to talk so conversations with him aren't super deep and detailed, but we feel it is important to build the habit and rhythm of having conversations with us early.
