I highly recommend having a heart-to-heart informal chat (or fun interview) with your children at the end of the year if you don't already do so.  It can truly open your eyes to new things and can help you learn more about what your children like and dislike. Alyssa enjoyed sharing her thoughts with me and asking me questions as well.
