Snores and Snuggles

In my household we have a lot of late nights that usually end in me maneuvering my pen around a head full of curls asleep on my lap in order for me to complete my assignments. How delicious it is to hear little rabbit snores coming from this miniature being who’s cuddled against me as my head spins around the interstellar masses of spherical and irregular galaxies… (Tonight we’re hashing out astronomy homework)

I often feel I don’t spend enough time with her and on quiet nights like these I realize she appreciates these tiny gestures as much as I do.

How do we become better parents? How do we dedicate more hours in a day that we really don’t have to these children who are crying for our attention… I once read an article that reminded me that parenting is renewed day-by-day. Every morning you wake up with a new opportunity to love your child more than the day before. Through the tantrums, through the frustration, we love them as much and as hard as the day before and somehow, through tiny specks of unicorn dust, they’ll understand these moments are everlasting between just you too.
