DD has to be reminded that it's our turn to talk as she is quite a chatterbox. Usually she manages OK. I figure with enough reminding, she will eventually remember!

It is difficult with the excitement with Daddy's coming home. Maybe if they went and sat down for 5-10 minutes and just the two of them caught up on their day, then the point could be made that it was Mummy and Daddy's turn now?

What about spending some time outside being quiet and listening the birds, crickets at dusk, something like that so that you could talk about all the different noises that you can't hear if you're talking?
