Going to bed...

Tonight during our bedtime routine, I was finished reading books to Parker- so I asked him my usual questions..."do you want mommy to rock you?" and he said "ya...mommy rock"- so that is what we did. After we prayed, I said, "give mommy kisses"- well, he is in a phase where he will cover his mouth up with his hands...so I pulled his hands away and gave him a big kiss-a-roo! He thought that was HILARIOUS...so we did that over and over again and he laughed SO HARD that he got the hickups. I am not kidding...it was the BEST! Then, when I think it can't get any better- I asked him if he wanted me to sing to him...he said yes, so I asked him what he wanted me to sing and in his own little language he said "I'll love you forever"....my FAVORITE song...so as I started to sing it, he sang it with me...heaven!! Then I said, "sing to mommy I"ll love you forever"...and so he started singing it...given...I couldn't understand all the words, but oh how sweet it was to hear my sweet 2 year old....hanging on to my neck while I rocked him...singing to me "I'll love you forever". Then as I tucked him into bed, he asked me to lay next to him...so I did, and then when it was time for me to leave, I got face to face and whispered "love you" and he whispered back "love you" and I whispered "night night" and he whispered "night night". Every part of tonight was so special and filled my cup to the brim. When I shut Parker's door tonight, I put my hand to my chest and took a sigh....a sigh of utter bliss......
