Oh my gosh, focusing on my son (especially after work, which is when we get a lot of our time together) can be so hard. The creative fun part of my brain seems to be totally steamed after eight hours of putting out fires, or writing reports, or just staring at a computer screen all day. My three year old is tired, too, by the time I get home. I definitely like the idea of setting a timer so that I spend at least some time focused on him and NOT responding to text messages, cooking dinner, etc. I'll give it a try!
