Hi there,
I'm new to this so please bear with me. I'm having a lot of issues with the singleton in the family. My kids are 5 yr B/B the 3 year old Boy and 10 month old B/G.
The 3 year old really feels left out of a lot with the big boys in school and hates going out with me and the babies since they get all the attention. I'd like to know what some of the things you do to make your singleton feel special.
:confused:

:rolleyes: Well we have one designated day for each child, every month. So they can have a day with just Mom and then one day with just Dad. On the twins days we still keep it seperate because they also like seperate time once in awhile but we always ask if they want to bring their twin.Main reason being that a few times the one twin was lonely for their twin eventhough they knew it was "their" day. Sometimes their day means them as a team. At least for us anyway. Hope this may help. I have also noticed that some people put their twins in real cute outfits and thats great but sometimes dress down the twins and dress up the single one and that will help when he/she is noticed because they look so good you know what I mean ? I hope that will at least give you something to consider :confused:
Just for example take him to the grocerie store and let him pick supper to help you cook then he can pick out a treat maby ride the store horse for .50 because the "babies" can't ride horses. Then go read a book at the park. It really does not take much we have found it is just being together that counts :p
