Yesterday Hallie hurls herself into my arms after her nap (moderately painful...gentle with Mommy, please!), and we have a little hugfest for a few moments.
Hallie: "I love you."
Me: "I love you too, sweetheart."
Hallie, pulling away to look up at me: "You love me?"
Me, surprised: "Well, yes!"
Hallie: "Do you not want me to diiieeee?" (characteristically drawing out the word)
Me: "No!!"
Hallie, very sincerely: "All right. I'll try not to."
Oh my gosh. That little conversation speaks volumes. Thanks for sharing that moment.
