Happy (Sappy...?) Mommy Moment

The other day, Nicco asked me for a snuggle. We collected his "lot of things" (Sponge, Soft Blankie, sippy cup, an airplane or two...) and settled on the couch for a snuggle. He petted my hair ("because it is so soft") and said "Mom, I love you." I said "Nicco, I love you." He repeated, I repeated. He repeated, I repeated. Even though the repetition from 3 year olds gets tiresome sometimes, I let this one go on for quite a while. Ahhhh...basking in the unconditional love of a toddler.
