This guy humbly credits the universe with his daughter's happiness when, truthfully, the person who helped provide her with those toys and toast and love (the OP) should know that it is him who should get credit. Though, honestly, it sounds like they are each other's universes anyway. :)
"My uncle Alex Vonnegut, a Harvard-educated life insurance salesman who lived at 5033 North Pennsylvania Street, taught me something very important.
He said that when things were really going well we should be sure to NOTICE it. He was talking about simple occasions, not great victories: maybe drinking lemonade on a hot afternoon in the shade, or smelling the aroma of a nearby bakery; or fishing, and not caring if we catch anything or not, or hearing somebody all alone playing a piano really well in the house next door.
Uncle Alex urged me to say this out loud during such epiphanies: "If this isn't nice, what is?"

My youngest son (6) will just start singing when he's in a good mood, and you ask him why and he's all like "I'm feeling great, i wanna sing!"
Got serenaded with 2 verses of a random pokemon song from the toilet last night. Lol
