The Most Special Time of Each Day is the Very End of It

Raising a child is a special and sacred task.  My favorite part of it is the very end of the day.  There's something precious about seeing them lie there, pooped from a full day of growing and processing and fussing. totally ready to give up on being awake and fall securely into a good night's sleep.  Oh sure, it's nice to know you are seconds away from having your freedom back.  But, as much as I have things to do now that I have room to do them, I do linger for a second first and just take it all in.
