I Love Her

from the mom

Kyri was taking her milk last night in the rocking chair when Ben came up and gently began rubbing her and said, "I love her." He had been such a wicked child all day long and I wanted to put him down and forget about him for hours until he said that. My heart was already melting when he added, "And I love you Mommy." Instant thaw. A pause. "And you love me too." I think he knew it was the kind of day where I might need a reminder.

YES!! This is how Meredith has been lately--from utterly "wicked" to SO incredibly loving and sweet. ARGH!!! Isn't it incredible how kids can play at ALL our emotions?!
