Katherine, tonight, as we do many nights, we snuggled up on the couch after dinner. Sometimes we watch a little TV together (yes, usually your favourite show which you negotiate to put on) or like tonight we read a story together. Well, ok, not one as one is never enough when we get started, but a whole book filled with stories. I love that when we get started with a good book, you always ask for more, and I love that I can never resist reading you “just one more”.Snuggle time on the couch in the evening is my favourite time with you, we get to spend time together, “hanging out”, cuddled up close to each other. Lately as the days are getting colder outside, you bring a little blanket to the couch which we settle underneath. Some days a plush bunny, bear or doll will join us and many nights we’ll have some crackers or apples as a little snack. You always make sure to share your snack with me (sometimes you’ll feed me) and if daddy sits in the dining room reading or working, you’ll climb off the couch and bring him a cracker or slice of apple too. Snuggle time is our favourite time together and I look forward to it every day.
You are teaching me that it’s not always about the quantity of time we have with the people we love, it’s about spending quality time in the time we have together. We can never predict what life brings, and I treasure every moment we get to spend together, right here, right now. I love you always and forever.
