What Saturday Is For

Today I discovered another reason Saturdays with the family are so great--without them we miss the little things our wives get to see throughout the week that help us appreciate our children's personalities even more. Things like going to the Air & Space museum and examining the torpedoes together with my son; putting my toddler girl down for a nap under her bed, at her insistence, only to find her sleeping behind the curtain when I go to get her up; watching my son create a bird or another couch on the floor or couch cushions; and sitting between my two oldest as they are nestled into their thrones of pillows and blankets eating popcorn during movie night. And of course, new faces that my baby girl makes and more of her standing practice. There really are sides to our kids we miss out on during the work week. I'm grateful I get Saturday's at home to catch-up a little bit.
