If you've ever seen the movie Dispicable Me, you remember the scene where the youngest of the 3 sisters excitedly squeezed her stuffed unicorn, proclaiming, "IT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE!"
I felt much like that unicorn tonight when my 2 1/2 year old daughter came up to me, put a tiara on my head (calling it a helmet), and then looked at me with the biggest, cartoon-puppy-dog eyes and most genuine smile I've ever seen. She wrapped her tiny arms around my head and squeezed shouting, "I just want to hold you!" And my heart burst into 3 million pieces. I don't deserve her.

This is so beautiful! I'm glad you captured this moment. I used to keep a little notebook where I would jot down the unbearably cute things my kids said and did, and it has been fun to pull it out at family holidays now that they are older. "Helmet!" haha!
