No naps and melty hearts

Today Amelia melted my heart. After a 4:30 a.m. wake up and non-stop activity because my little energizer bunny decided naps were for babies, I was frankly exhausted and running short on patience. Her smile was suddenly not so cute. And then at 6:30p.m. she reached up with both her chubby little hands, placed one on either side of my face and reached up and hugged me tight. She snuggled her face against my neck and settled in and clung tightly to me. I held on right back, as hard as I could. Wishing I could hold on to her forever. She fell asleep within minutes, still hugging my neck. Still clutching my heart.
