explode

I walked into Ben's room after he woke up from his nap Saturday afternoon, just like I always do. I put my arms out, not-so-subtly suggesting to Ben that Mommy needed her post-nap hug. He enthusiastically jumped into my arms from his bed, and then....with no words from me to precede it.....he said, "I love you Mommy SOOOOO much!"

Be still my exploding heart.
