Just like the heading outdoors effort, the kids develop differing opinions as to what they want to hear. Pretty soon, they'd rather read to themselves. My kids are now 12 & 9, but it's almost impossible to wrangle the older one to listen to a read aloud. The best we can do is the audiobooks on long car trips, 'cause I'm taking shared books where I can get them! I'm with you on reducing the plate size this year; in fact, my resolution is to up the fun factor with more outdoor play and time just for me. We're worth it! <abbr><em>Sandra Foyt’s last blog post: <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OnLivingByLearning/~3/499895572/" rel="nofollow">Resolving To Raise The Fun Factor</a></abbr></em> Read aloud while you can!

Take time for yourself...No matter what, don't wait until the kids graduate to take this time. It is precious and it will make you a better parent. By the way, Tammy, your new blog looks great.

Sounds like you are on a good path for starting 2009. I love the idea of reading aloud. Now the children are older I hope they are doing some of the reading aloud. Great fun and a great learning tool. <abbr><em>Mark’s last blog post: <a href="http://tobeme.wordpress.com/2009/01/02/new-year-resolutions-avoiding-the-jetson-trap/" rel="nofollow">New Year Resolutions - Avoiding The “Jetsons” Trap</a></abbr></em> These were very good reflections on 2008.
