Once upon a time, there was a dad who loved his little baby so much. One day, he lost the key to their house and had to go look for it.
While searching, he heard his baby's laughter coming from outside. He followed the sound and found his baby playing with her toys and having a great time. The dad smiled, realizing that it's important to enjoy ourselves and let our children enjoy themselves too.
He sat down and watched his baby play, taking the time to just be present with himself.
As he watched, he noticed that the baby was taking care of herself, putting her toys away by herself. He felt proud of his baby for being so independent and taking care of herself.
The dad then found the key, but decided to stay and play with his baby for a little while longer.
From that day on, the dad made sure to take time for himself and to enjoy life with his family, allowing everyone to be themselves and have fun.
The end.

2. Why did the dad decide to stay and play with his baby instead of leaving right away?
3. What did the dad learn about enjoying life with his family?
4. Why is it important for us to take time for ourselves?
5. Can you think of a time when you took care of yourself or helped someone else take care of themselves?
