The Sweetest Words
(Post from my former blog)
On Tuesday, I was putting my two year old daughter down for her nap. We have a routine. I change her diaper (we are working on ridding ourselves of this), put her in her crib, cover her with White Blankie, and place Pink Blankie at the foot of the crib. I then tell her goodnight and "clap the door" as I leave (she mistakenly says clap when she asks me to leave the door cracked). As I was leaving, she pushed up and said, "I love you, Mom."
This is the first time she has said those special words without me saying them first. Of course, my heart just melted. Considering I spend most of my day training my darling daughter to act in a civilized and respectful manner, that moment was truly a highlight for me!
Although my best girl can be quite a handful, she is a gift! I am thankful for her and for the sweet, sweet words she shared with me this week! I hope she can remember to say them every now and then when she is a teenager! :)
