My Favorite Time of Day

I was thinking as I was sitting in the carpool line yesterday that picking Madeleine up from school has become my favorite time of day. I can't wait to see her and find out what she's done for the day. I love watching her sit with her little friends and talk while she waits for me....what I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall and hear what they're talking about.

Then, I started thinking that my favorite time of day can't be that because it's my cuddle time with Harrison right before his nap. We snuggle and read books....right now we read Wonder Pets every day. Twice. We sing the song together and he just laughs and laughs! Then he snuggles down in bed and I sing to him. I love this time.

But, then I remembered that my favorite time of day is dinnertime when we all sit around the table and tell the best part of our day. Even Harrison is starting to get into this although his don't always make a lot of sense. :)

Or is it tucking my girl in the car in the mornings and seeing the anticipation on her face as she looks forward to what Kindergarden will hold for the day. I love watching her ride off with her Daddy as Harrison and I stand outside and wave, knowing that this is their special time together. Then Harrison and I head back inside to start our day, just the 2 of us.

Maybe my favorite time is watching Madeleine and Harrison play together after school, so happy to see each other after spending the day apart. They laugh and run and talk about their days. Harrison HAS to tell her everything we did that day. It usually goes something like, "I played play-doh, I went potty, I took nap in your bed, I go park..." you get the idea. He'll interrupt her over and over until he's given his spiel. :)

I guess I can't narrow down my favorite time of day. I may not love every minute of every day, but I wouldn't trade one minute of it to be doing something else. I love my job! :)
