I did not really enjoy the early years, so it's a genuine surprise that I am really loving parenting more and more these days. I was mentally running down the list, and I love breakfast time, spending the weekends together, walking to school, doing pickups, bath time and bedtime. That's most of the day! I don't enjoy dinnertime, because the kids are fickle eaters. And detangling our daughter's hair is an exercise in patience.

The main thing I don't like is that I don't get much time to work, or much time to spend with Bee.

Still if I could freeze time and live one day over and over, most any of the days from the past week would be a good one for me. I'm hoping that feeling grows over the next few years!

Are you enjoying parenting these days?
