Special time with my daughter

My working from home has created a really nice time alone with my daughter.

I finish work between 2:30 and 3pm every day. Our son does not get home from preschool until about 3:45pm and my wife gets home a few minutes later.

Since I have no commute right now, that gives me about an hour alone with my daughter every day. We have been playing with Play-Doh, read stories, dance to Christmas tunes, talking to all of her babies, doing puzzles, and playing games.

When I first started working at home, she would get grumpy when my mom (our babysitter) left. She would not perk up for several minutes afterward. Now, she jumps into my arms as soon as I walk up the stairs.

We do not spend a lot of time planning something exciting. We do not turn on the TV. We do not leave the house. We just talk and play for about an hour.
