I have to share the really sweet moment I had earlier with Abby.

I was putting her to bed and she wanted to hear a story. As usual, she chose I Love You Stinky Face. So we read that and as I was putting her in her bed....

Abby: "Will you always take care of me Mommy?"
Me: "Of course I will. I will always love you too."

I covered her up and made sure that her bedtime friends were tucked in with her. I wound up her ballerina music box, said goodnight and walked toward the door.

Abby: "Goodnight Mommy. I love you stinky face."
Me: "I love you too stinky face."

It's moments like that when I am reminded how truly blessed I am to be a mother.
