Fatherhood: The third is the charm.

I think I got the balance right with my second child. It could be that she's my daughter, and I'm madly in love with her... but:

With the first child, it took me a while to get into the swing of things.
With the second, I was over the shock of being a parent, and was fairly ready to rock.
With the third, I was sort of swept up in the "group."

What I mean is, it's really important to focus on my youngest INDIVIDUALLY. It's so easy to simply include him, praise him along with the others, etc... but what I've got to do is give him more focused attention. Him-time. Only.
