I spend a good portion of the day in the kitchen, and she's usually right between my legs. If not there, then she's never very far. It can get frustrating at times, because she makes it hard to get things done. But I try to remember that this is how she's expressing love to me.
The other day I was making dinner, and she was in there with me. She kept pushing on my legs, and I was playing with her by putting my knee up and pushing back. She thought that was funny for a while, and then she wanted to stop. She kept calling "Mama?" and I would say "What?" without really looking down at her. That wasn't satisfying her, and she kept calling my name. I finally looked down, and said "Yes, baby?" and she looked right in my eyes and said "Me wuvs you."
Talk about heart melting. This was the best moment. I just sat down right there and just held her and cried.
The expression of love from your children is absolutely the best gift a mother can recieve.
So precious!!
