I’ll fold the pajames a little bit slower tonight.

I’ll linger a little bit longer while I hug you good night.

I’ll answer a little bit more when you call out for me.

I’ll listen as you spin your tales a little bit more intensely.

I’ll walk a little bit more slowly through the park as you look at the ducks.

I’ll clean a little bit faster to sit & read you one more book.

I’ll close my computer a little bit sooner to blow a few more bubbles.

I’ll laugh a little bit louder at your jokes.

I’ll climb the steps a little bit slower just to hold your hand a few second more before tucking you in.

I’ll let me cuddles with you be a little bit tighter while watching your favorite movie.

I’ll make a little bit more growls as we play zoo.

I’ll sing your favorite song a little bit longer.

I’ll exercise a little bit more patience with you.

I’ll allow myself to wonder a little but farther about who you’ll be.

I’ll remind myself a little but more what your little voice sounds like.

I’ll wake up a little bit earlier to make you a special breakfast.

I’ll lower my voice a little bit when you step out of line.

I’ll remember a little bit more how you smelled as an infant

I’ll pick up your toys a little bit slower after you go to bed.

Because one day I’ll wonder why I didn’t take just a little bit more time for you & it’ll be to late because you’ll be off making a little bit of your own memories.
