    Sounds like you are doing a good job. Giving a tour of your house and explaining things room by room is a good idea. I do that too.
    I think having your husband watch your son during interviews is a great idea. That way you can focus on the family and the potential child. My husband watches mine, but they always end up coming in at the end, which I dont mind. My daughter loves to dote over all the babies (she's 3).
    If you are having trouble focusing on the parents, while playing with the child, then I would keep that to a minimum and then schedule a play date during operating hours. That way the parent can see the daycare with the kids in it and the child gets a sense of what is to come.
    I always tell potential clients that I do my interviews in the evenings for this very reason. I want to put all my attention on them and then, if they are a good fit, they can come for a play date. I use the initial interview to see how the parents and child are together (do they put them down to play, or hold them etc.).

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
