OMG....thank you soooo much for posting this. I had the best little moment last night.

My daughter is 2, and in the stage where she won't really let us read to her anymore. She just likes to be up and moving around - doesn't like to sit in my lap.

Last night, I was home with her alone - Daddy was at work. She was playing with her toys and I just got that book off the shelf and started reading it.

She actually came over and sat next to me!! It was so sweet.

Of course...I started crying at the end...and then she said "what's wrong Mommy" and wiped my eyes with her baby doll's blankie!!

Oh it was so sweet. And then she let me rock her to sleep, which she NEVER does anymore. I sang to her - we have the Celine Dion CD that I love (Miracle). It was just the best night in a long time for me.

And then - I was running late for work this morning, and I actually got to say goodbye to her. (I usually leave while she's still asleep).

Anyway...wow. I just feel a lot better now. That was a good night!!
