Two things:
First. This afternoon I put the girls down for a nap, and I decided to put myself down for one as well. When I woke up, I found that the girls had not been sleeping. Instead, they turned nap-time into craft-time. Next to my head on the couch, I found the following items they made for me: A miniature crown, complete with jewels, made from construction paper, with the words "King Daddy" written in crayon. A necklace made from various beads and small toys. And a tiny bouquet, made from flowers picked in the backyard and tied together with a hair-tie.
Second. Later today, their mom came to pick them up. I could actually hear my heart breaking in my now silent house, as they drove away. Same thing that happens every time.
