I had 2 nights on the trot earlier this week where I had to be out for bedtime (pretty much unheard of!) and I missed the books and the cuddling and discussing the day so much, it was like a physical loss. And the thought of how fleeting these rituals are is scary to me.

Our little miss walks out of her bedroom fully dressed most morning now, asking if I can help her bring out the coloring pencils and her sketch books, ready for the day without even a hug unless I steal it from her. But my little man still enjoys a good stretch and snuggle. Actually, it's just about the only snuggle we get with him (such a little independent fella) and I'm fully taking in every moment. Enjoy them... imprint them in your heart ad mind.
