It is so adorable when toddlers are occupied with something, like playing with toys. I might feel worried if my free time lasts long, becuause it is so unusual!

haha, I cannot help smiling when picturing them. Are you seeing them over an indoor surveillance camera ? What does your 8 years one do on his cell phone?

No my little ones stay in the room around me. They feel insecure since their father walked out on us. So they tend to stick as close to me as possible lately.

Ok you are around them really close. Oh well, these days single parent is becoming more popular, don't worry. Some kids have 2 parents and some don't, I hope kids will learn that. But they are so cute, that they are making sure that you will not go away ! It is sad though I heard kids tend to blame themselves for those uncontrollable events. I hope your kids will not.
