I Like It When Daddy Goes To Work

My sweet little snuggle bug.

Neither one of my kids like to snuggle during the day, they are both way too busy.  I am lucky if I can get Finn to sit on my lap for more than 30 seconds without food in my hand or a glass of milk right next to me. 

After Finn goes to bed Olivia will curl up on the couch with me to either a read book ('Twas The Night Before Christmas is her favorite right now) or watch a movie on the iPad.  I wouldn't trade that time for anything, anything except for Thursday and Friday mornings that is.

Thursdays and Fridays are my days off.  When Olivia hears Dad shut the garage door she will get out of her bed to come snuggle with me in my bed.  She will throw the covers back, crawl in, find her pillow that she likes, pull up the covers and snuggle in as close to me as she can get.  I like to call it her little nook.  She will then ask where daddy went, with that I always reply daddy had to go to work this morning.  Her response to that is always the same: "I like it when dad goes to work".

Me too my baby girl, me too.  As much as I would like for your daddy to stay home too, I look forward to these mornings every day.

You make my heart melt!
