Today, my baby, my youngest child, ran up to me and launched himself onto me. As I caught him in my arms to swing him around, he laid his head against my shoulder, and said "I love my mama!" before planting a wet kiss on my cheek.
Then he ran off to either torment a sibling or find his toy.
Whatever. It didn't matter.
It was the first time he's ever verbalized his affection for mommy. Oh, there's been many cuddles and hugs. But to hear him say "I love my mama!" - the overwhelming emotions it created almost made the later tantrums bearable. His cherubic face and gleeful smile from that moment will forever be etched in my mind.
