Unconditional love

This happened last week...

We have had a hard time getting Jane down to bed since we decided to put her in one. Naps are the worst.
I was quite frustrated after trying for about 45 minutes to get her to bed. I first showed my frustration by giving her less and less loving and cuddly moments. Eventually, I had reached my limit and said very firmly, "Jane, no! It's bedtime! You need to stay in bed!"
Well, that little girl... she just looked at me with those big eyes and made her hand sign for "I love you" along with her sweet word I long for most, "wuhboo" (love you).
Crushed!!!
I almost lost it. I just patted her on her back, kissed her scrumptious cheeks and calmed WAY down, until I fell asleep right along with her.
It's amazing how much love children can give, even when it isn't shown to them.
Thank you, Jane. You teach me how to be a better mom.
