She loves me!

I just want to take a moment to let you all know that today my 2 year old was a CHAMP at bedtime. Teeth brushing? Nailed it, all by herself. PJs? Not a problem! She pretty much did it all by herself. She crawled into bed, snuggled her stuff animal as I tucked her in and kiss her forehead. I said "I love you! Dream good dreams, I'll see you in the morning" and for the FIRST TIME EVER she hit me with an "I love you, momma".I had to hold back tears. I'm just in awe. She very rarely speaks, and she said she loves me. My heart feels like it's exploding. For the first time in months I feel like I'm not failing her. I can't wait to see her in the morning.Thank you for reading the ramblings of a young mother who doesn't have much going for her, other than the love of her sweet sweet girl. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2PjJwUE
