Let's Cuddle it Out - 31 Day Project, Day 5

I worked late tonight, which meant that I only got to see my muse for half an hour before she went to bed. I miss her on these nights and I delay bed time as much as possible to extend the moments with her.

Once we finished reading her bed time story, I scooped her up, she cuddled into my shoulder and I sang 4 songs to extend the time with her even longer.

When I was pregnant I thought I had it all figured out - my husband would drop her off at daycare in the morning and I would pick her up. One of us would get to work late; the other would get to work early. I'd only have to do one half of her care. Perfect. Right?

Fast forward to today, my husband and I extend our mornings with her and our evenings with her; she is one of the best parts of each of our days. 

I want to freeze our time together, the three of us locked together in the most perfect moment. I want to freeze the feeling of her melted against my shoulder before I put her to sleep. I want to imprint the smell of her neck, and the sound of her giggles in my mind forever. I want to experience the joy I feel when my husband gushes about how he thinks our progeny is amazing.

Oh my gosh, I totally just mom'd-out on you. See, the importance of being present is that these moments slip through our fingers, and we need to take time to cuddle it out. I cuddled it out this evening, and it was awesome. I savoured my time.


Oh, and I took a picture today. I'm still in love with tilt shift, so I tried to take my own tilt shift picture to edit. These views are from my office - it was a lovely fall day. Get out and enjoy these days before winter comes to bite you!
