Be still my heart

Our bedtime routine has faded a little, and there are no longer 84 things to accomplish. Nights now consist of simply reading a book and laying down to talk. One night a week, he gets to have a special sleepover in mommy's room while daddy is away at hockey.

I always make sure that I ask him every night about the best part of his day. Tonight's priceless dialogue was one worth remembering.

Me: So what was the best part of your day today?

Nico: Umm.... playing with you... and loving you... <long pause> ... oh, and you're pretty.

He has a such a big heart. Another one of his lines every now and then is, "You're the best mommy in the whole wide world." Those are definitely words worth remembering any time you need a little pick me up! How fortunate am I?
