Yesterday, I melted. While yes, I almost literally melted from the heat, which I would normally love at +31, I am talking about my heart. Out of the blue, my little girl cupped her little hand around my chin and looked in me in the eye and said in the sweetest little voice "I love you mommy" (ooooohhhh). While she has been prompted to say she loves me before by Daddy, or by me saying "Love you" this was an entirely different level of melt-your-heart-goodness when she just came out with this out of her own true feelings. It makes every pee in the panties (3 that day, 2 today including one on the carpet), every temper tantrum (none today thankfully), every night time waking, every too early morning, and every mess more than worth it. There are some moments in parenthood that you will just never forget. That moment, in a random place on a sidewalk in front of Motherhood Maternity, will be forever a favorite moment I have with my sweet baby girl.
I will hopefully forget how today I nearly lost my mind when that sweet little angel decided 15 minutes was enough nap for her and then proceeded to fight her way beyond her need for sleep by talking non-stop (no ounce of exagerration) for the next two hours, mostly questions beginning with "Mommy" and often ending in "what are you doing?" or "what's that sound" or "what does that smell like". I was very pregnant, very HOT, very tired, and very wanting my own nap and could only laugh and how impressive her stamina for speaking was and how even something so cute could eventually drive you CRAZY! Ahhh, to be 2.

Sometimes Ava will tell me "I love you too much, Mom". It really is sweet since it usually comes out of nowhere.
