when I finished singing lullabies to Claire for her nap, I kissed her and said, “It’s nap time. Time to have sweet dreams.” She replied, “I love Mommy.”
Oh… Nothing competes with that.

Daughter was on her way somewhere, and had to stop her and quickly get a small item. She pulled up in the drive and Babycakes ran up to the house to accomplish the mission. I handed her the item, and she toddled out. I said “I love you” to her retreating back, and, almost as an echo, came back “I love you too Poppy.”
Ahhhhh.
Thank heaven it is not a competition.
