Good night little one I said as I tucked our daughter into bed. The challenges of raising a child and keeping the spark of my 17 year marriage weighing heavy on my mind. Here I held the most precious gift ever bestowed on us giving her cuddles and wishing her good night while thinking about the mischievous almost dangerous look my wife had given me a few minutes prior.
It was a weekend night and that usually meant there would be an intimate encounter between us. While the life of full time parents and industry professionals often doesn’t leave time for adult encounters through the week we still manage time on the weekends. Leaving our daughters room I immediately headed to the shower in anticipation of what that look meant and hoping the sound of running water would help the little one fall to sleep quickly so as to not interrupt our time with the need for a glass of water or other such parental duty.
