I had the same fears. They are so close now they have the same thoughts. LOL. Having four children I know the pull to give them all one on one attention. When they are all swarming around it gets difficult. I try to do little things here and there with each of them. The most important thing I do is listen to them. This way they know I care even though things are busy. (I don't even think they know that there is any other way to be then busy.)Someone suggested getting a journal and asking them questions and writing down their answers in the journal. Obviously you can't do that now but it may help in a few years. My daughter is the last of 3 boys. She kind of gets pushed out of the way because she has 3 very demanding brothers. I do things like read to her, paint her toes, take her on short trips to the store, etc. This way she gets some of my attention too. It shows what a great mom you are that you are worrying about having time for all of them. My last two are 15 months apart. I had the same fears. They are so close now they have the same thoughts.
