While I’m busy teaching my part-time ESL class, my husband takes the kids for a swim. It's a simple routine that I appreciate, but once I finish my class, I have a sudden urge to dress up. I feel like I’ve been in my comfortable, at-home attire for too long, chasing after my 3-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. Sometimes, I miss the version of myself that feels smart and put-together. As soon as I get ready, the family emerges from the pool, and my husband, noticing my attire, asks, "Why are you dressed up?"
I simply smile and reply, "I just felt like it." There's no deeper reason, just a desire to feel a little more like myself for a change. It’s funny how small gestures like these can make a big difference.
Unexpectedly, my husband surprises me by saying, “Okay, let’s go out. Get the kids ready, we’re going to your favorite restaurant.” My heart warms as I realize he’s already in tune with my needs, no questions asked. The restaurant is just four streets away, and it's a place that holds a special place in my heart, mainly because of their amazing margaritas. The balance of flavors is just perfect, a true indulgence. The kids love the food, too—especially the chicken wings with matchala, a unique touch that adds to the experience.
I feel incredibly grateful for my husband’s thoughtfulness. It’s moments like these that remind me of the deep bond we share. Without needing to explain myself, he understands my moods, my needs, and takes the initiative to create a moment of joy for our family. This kind of connection is what we aim to nurture in our children—sibling unity and a loving, empathetic bond with us as parents.
