My Favorite Part

"What was your favorite part about today?"

That's what Dan used to ask me every night when we were first married. At first I thought the question was just something to amuse my husband, but after a while, I looked forward to it. If I was having a good day, it helped me evaluate the positive things that had happened. If I was having a bad day, I would have to search for the silver lining. Eventually, if he didn't ask me I would ask him.
We still ask each other this question, and now that Hannah knows what "favorite" means, we have started asking her as well. We love to hear her talk excitedly about something she loved doing that day.

*Hannah's favorite part about today was going to dance class. When I asked her, she answered with a "duh" tone in her voice.

*My favorite part about today, even though it was a really good day, was indulging in warm chocolate pudding fresh from the stove top. Mmm...

*Dan's favorite part about today was this morning with the girls. They can be so irresistible that he can't seem to get ready for work.
