Claire and I had an amazing day today. Tonight, however, was not so great. She tested me to see how long she could postpone going to bed. It was one thing after another. I finally got pushed far enough and got a bit too stern with her. I got her to stay in bed and went downstairs. I had a tugging at my heart feeling terrible for the way I acted with her. So after about 10 minutes I went back upstairs. Claire was still awake and confused as to why I returned to her room. I laid in bed with her and told her how sorry I was for getting upset. She curled into me and put her arm around me and started to rub my back. What preschooler is that sweet? I started to cry and we had a beautiful 10 minutes just snuggling and loving each other. It was a moment in time that I will never forget. I love my sweet angel so much it hurts sometimes.
