A Happy Heart

With a new baby on the way, we need another dresser for Abby's room. Yesterday afternoon, Abby and I went to a couple of furniture stores to start looking for just the right one. Abby was sort of entertained by the children's furniture in the first store, but she was ready to take control of the conversation by the time we were greeted by the saleswoman in the second store.

When the woman welcomed us to the store and asked if she could help us find anything in particular, Abby replied, "We need to buy a dresser." The woman looked at me and asked if we were looking for children's furniture. As she led us to the back of the store, Abby continued her conversation with the woman. It went something like this:
Abby: "Daddy is at work."
Saleswoman: "He is?"
Abby: "Yes. Mommy and Daddy love me."
Saleswoman: "I'm sure they do."
Abby: "And I love Sydney, too!"

After a rather trying morning which included a two-year-old meltdown and two time-outs, it made my heart so happy to hear her say that Mommy and Daddy love her! We do love her very much and are glad to know that SHE knows it too!
