My Daughter’s Favorite Gift

At bedtime, I tucked my 5-year-old daughter in and asked, “What was your favorite present today?” She paused thoughtfully before replying, “Spending the day with you, mummy.” My heart melted—until she giggled and added, “Haha, not really, it was the Lego cupcake set.” I laughed, charmed by her honesty.

She then flipped through her Peppa Pig book with focus, seamlessly blending love and play. Watching her, I realized these simple moments—snuggling at the end of the day—were the true treasures. As I kissed her goodnight, I knew it wasn’t the gifts but these fleeting exchanges that I’d cherish forever.
