She has been the church organist since I was born. It truly instilled a love of music in me. I'm sure your practicing will have nothing but a positive effect in your boys' lives. While they may be doing something else during their quiet time, they will also be listening to you. How extremely wonderful. amanda One of my fondest memories is listening to my mother practice the piano or organ. She has been the church organist since I was born.

C would take a nap and A just seemed like he needed to unwind a little bit, usually after lunch, and he would read or play quietly. I didn't feel a need to put him in his room, partly because the baby was in there and partly because he was pretty quiet. It was kind of the same after D came along. But now with 3 boys and no naps, it's no longer quiet. They're all pretty chatty too, and will ask question after question of me if I'm right there. So into the bedroom!

It is like religion with us. Just watch out, they may try to rebel against it later on. I just had to sit the older kids down and explain how good quiet times make me happy and want to do fun things, and bad quiet times make me grumpy and not want to do anything but work and yell. I don't envy the space issue. We had that up until 2 years ago (just substitute a boy for your dog), and no yard. Somehow we managed. How have you survived this long without a quiet time?
