Do you have a favourite time of day?
I love Alexander's bedtime (and Daniel's too at this age). He's usually asleep within 10 minutes or so but I've been known to rock him for up to an hour just to soak up the snuggles.

I love bedtime too but for other reasons. Dh does bedtime so I am officially off the clock. I will be enjoying this bedtime free time until I have to start putting a newborn to bed.

I should mention that while I'm rocking a snuggly baby H is putting Daniel to bed. He's actually pretty good these days but I have the better deal for sure!
With the kids, it's right before bed, they're usually pretty happy and playful. In general, I'm a night owl by nature, so whenever I get a chance, I'll stay up late. Sadly, I rarely get that chance.

I love mornings, but honestly not so much with a kid. But I do appreciate the fact that there's zero pressure to do anything but drink coffee in my pjs while he eats and watches tv for a couple of hours (since it's so early!)
I love the hours btwn his bedtime and my bedtime esp if H goes to work out...the house is quiet and all mine!
On weekends after nap he wakes up then we lay in my bed for another half hour or more! During the work week before he goes to bed we watch a show in my bed

I'm only home for bedtime two nights a week, so my go to favorite time is nap time. Although she refused nap the last two days. I'll be so sad when they are gone forever.
Runner up favorite time is right after nap time when she comes in my bed and cuddles with me for a long time.
I love the weekend mornings, L is usually snuggled right next to me and she will sleep a little later. Then when she wakes me up we just cuddle and talk. At least one weekend day DH takes her downstairs and I sleep a little longer.
It very rarely happens since G generally gets up early, but I love somewhat early mornings when I get up and drink a cup of coffee before anyone else is awake.
Weekend mornings when both kids have slept decently. William is usually in bed with me nursing/snuggling then matilda wakes and H goes to open her door and she climbs in with us
During the week it's probably the moment i walk into daycare. They are so happy to see me then the magic ends five mins later when I have to get them both in the car lol
In the morning. B has been sleeping later, and my H is a late sleeper, so I love having a few moments to read and wake up slowly. Then snuggling on the couch while B watches cartoons on the weekends before we eat breakfast is pretty nice too.
When I sit down at my desk in the morning. I am here earlier then everyone else so the odds I actually have to work the first 1/2 hour are slim. It is quiet, I surf the net and drink my coffee.
The moment I pull into the parking lot at Nursery School. H and my niece are usually waiting by the window for me and lose their minds when I come in. It's the warmest reception I think I'll ever receive in my entire life and I savour it each day.
I love my 5:00 am workout time. Usually people are still sleeping and I have no interruptions. I also love my lunch break time when I can go home for a half hour and get stuff done.
I do not enjoy mornings or evenings with the children because they are whining or complain all the time. Butttt they did play awesome most of this weekend together.
