I have to agree with the want to be fully present.
Fully present playing with Barbies, hide and seek, or watching Little Mermaid...this is not easy to keep work and other things out of my time with my girls, but even though they are young, they can sense when I am "there" with them fully or not.
Very far from perfect, but have been proactively positioning my mind to be more present when at dinner, play time, and bed time.
I also try to pick specific windows to be distraction free (aka I leave the phone elsewhere). I always find that harder at night when my energy level is low
