She can melt my heart!!

Ever since we have "lost" the paci, we have had a pretty elaborate bedtime routine. I don't know if its due to not having the paci or if Abby is getting too smart for her own good. I guess its kind of a manipulation on her part to get to stay up just a little bit longer, but its cute. She has to say goodnight and I love you to everyone in the house including the animals and even the "stinky bag". The stinky bag is my brothers hockey bag and it does stink!!! Anyway, I was putting Abby to sleep last night and after saying night-night to Grammy, the 2 cats, and Bucky I was singing her a song and setting her in her bed. As I was putting her down she said "I Yuv Mommy" without any prompting at all. My heart just melted and my eyes teared up as I put my little one down for the night. Those 3 sweet little words make all of the hard days worth it! I yuv my little girl to pieces!!
