A piece of me


I had one of those special mommy moments after getting Tyler from his nap. First, let me clarify what I mean by nap. T-cat decided to sing his ABC's, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and all sorts of made-up songs loudly for about an hour. He was counting and talking with his crib zoo of stuffed animals and repeatedly said "Mommy, come up here, I'm awake". I finally decided to greet my "sleeping" child. As usual, we had some snuggle time on the chair along with sheep and fuzzy/wuzzy (his current obsession). He was especially snuggly today and giving lots of kisses. At one point I said "you know Tyler, you will always have a piece of my heart with you forever" as I pointed to his heart. He looked at me with the most tender eyes and without missing a beat said "Mommy, you will always have a piece of my heart too" as he put his finger on my heart. With the tears starting to roll down my face, I gave him the biggest possible hug without doing any bodily damage and promised myself to never, ever forget this moment.
