"You are my best friend in the wide world"

This is what Ophelia says when she really wants to let me know that she loves me, or her sister.  Every time I hear it I just melt...I ask her to repeat it too often.  The other morning BJ put her in our bed before he left for work, this is our new routine, when she woke up she was so happy to be snuggled up to me that she touched my face and said "Mama I think you are beautiful, Mama I think I love you...you can kiss me on my cheek!"  These are the moments I focus on these days, these days with a 2 yr old.  When I feel overwhelmed by the amount of things on my list that never get checked off and just get added and added, these moments of her pure love and affection toward us.  She is trying out all the roles these days.  She try's to hit, she try's to be selfish, she try's to be mean, but it never really feels good to her.  She is a little goofball, a joker like her dad, and a lover, so sweet.  She reminds me to be light, open, warm, especially in the moments I want to be rigid and heavy.  So lucky to have her as my little teacher!  Cannot wait to see what her sister has in store for me.
