Mama alone time from being able to sleep in a little. Go out without Zach (trying on clothes with a toddler is a bitch) My all time favorite was actually be able to do morning routine without a kid throwing toilet paper down the drain and rushing to put my makeup on. That itself was a gift.
Alone time is needed for everyone not just Mama's. It's a little "freedom" that is nice to experience from time to time. So I will gladly reciprocate the good deeds come Father's Day.
Now my Mothers Day was almost over, I was getting Zach ready for bed (now, my kid is an active, won't sit still kinda boy) routine is usually bath, clothes, teeth and playing with his toys, with usually one book. He picked out his favorite trucks book, such a boy :) and I read it as usual and instead of wanting to go down and play, he wanted me to read it over and over. He would stop to give me a kiss and he would "read" the book to me. Seriously we read past his bed-time which I didn't mind at all. Best gift ever--especially since he isn't that affectionate..I ate it all up and loved it!
