The first memory of the day

"Good Morning, Sweetheart, Happy Birthday."

"Mommy, am I three now?"

"Mm-hmm."

"Does this mean I'm not two anymore?"

"Yes, baby, you're not two anymore."

"Oh."

Big smile creeps across her face. She stretches out her arms to hug me around the neck.

"I love you, Mommy."

"I love you too, kiddo."

Cue the tears.
