{little piece of heaven}

Kate was very unhappy right after dinner tonight, and I just couldn't get her to calm down. So, I sat her on the island, told her to close her eyes, and that I would get her a surprise. I went to the pantry, got out some of my chocolate stash, and broke her off a piece. She was scrunching up her eyes, waiting patiently. I placed the chocolate in her little outstretched hands, and left her to her bliss. She took a bite, and then said in her tiny 2-year old voice, "Happy, mom. Happy".

I'm right there with you.
