Today I treated myself and slept in until 7am. That was nice. It's amazing how an extra 15-30 minutes of rest can help a person through the day. While still in my "pre-awake" stage, I could hear the kids in the den trying to find their toys to play with. Suddenly there was a patting of small hands on my back. I opened my eyes and rolled over. My oldest was sitting there just looking at me. She smiled with her little angel face and gave me a hug and said "Happy Birthday, Daddy. I love you." The perfect birthday gift from a small child.
"Can Daddy have a kiss to go along with that hug?" I asked her.
"Welllllllllllllll - you see," she began, "I already gave you a hug and now I'm chewing on part of my toenail so I can't kiss you right now."
"Ok love you - bye!" she said as she ran back into the den.
I laid there for a few more minute giggling and thanking God for my sweet family.
