At bedtime, I asked my 5-year-old daughter, “What was your favorite present today?” She smiled and said, “Spending the day with you, mummy.” My heart melted—until she giggled, “Haha, not really, it was the Lego cupcake set.”
She flipped through her Peppa Pig book, lost in the story, reminding me how quickly children shift between love and play. As she grew sleepy, I kissed her goodnight, realizing the best gift wasn’t toys but these precious moments. These are the memories I’ll cherish forever.
