Last nights bedtime conversation.

We were laying in bed last night.

Ryan was out cold. He was exhausted so he heard none of this.

Caroline: "Mommy mean."

Me: "Why? You are going to make Mommy cry."

Caroline: "Mommy mean."

Me: "Caroline, Mommy is NOT mean."

Caroline: "Mommy mean."

Me: "Well, do you love Mommy?"

Caroline: Inserts finger into her nose. "NO."

Don't conversations like this make your heart swell with happiness?

This morning I felt better about it.

She woke up, touched my face, and said "Hey Mommy!"

I said hey back.

She hopped off of the bed and walked out of the door.

"Bye Mommy!" she said. "I love you!"

My heart truly did swell with happiness then.
