Can't Forget This Story

I forgot to include the most important story of the trip....at least to me.

I was putting Jace down for a nap at my mom's house. (He did quite well sleeping at different places this trip I must say.) We have a little ritual that I hold him and rock him, while singing him a few songs and then I say, "Do you want to get in your bed?" and he says, "Bed." Then I stand up and he gives me a hug and kiss and I put him in bed. Once he is laying down I say, "Are you ok?" and he usually says, "Ok." And I tell him I love him and Night Night. Sometimes I ask him to say "love you" to Daddy when I am taking him to bed or just so I can hear it. This day in particular I said, "Love you buddy" and he took his binky out and said, "Love you Mommy". I melted. I wanted to pick him back up and squeeze him and love him forever. Instead I told him I loved him a hundred more times and ran out to tell my mom what happened. Thankfully she was just excited as I. I love my little guy so much.
