I've thoroughly enjoyed my alone time with Ness this week.
We walked, played, cuddled, shopped, and napped on our five days alone.
The living room gets a bit out of sorts with her rearranging pillows and taking out her basket of toys.
But I tried to enjoy the moments.
I watched her as closely as she usually watches me.
I laughed louder and played with her when she let me.
I closed my book or computer when she would climb up on the couch to cuddle.
I tried to remember that not too far away in the distant future she will be in school too.

I think I'll carry that quote with me always--If I took one thing especially to heart in The Happiness Project it is this.

I will really miss this little firecracker when I go back to my part time gig on Monday.
With the BIG kids away. . .
this LITTLE one does play!
Those days do go sooooo fast! Enjoy them!
