A Song Just For Me

This morning while I changed Meg's diaper, I reminded her to hold still and keep her bottom down. Immediately she burst into song, gifting me with this short, spontaneous, little ditty:

No, keep your bottom up!
Yucky poopy so stinky...
I love you so much, Mommy.

And after I finished laughing and gave her a kiss, I thought, "Gee, those three lines pretty much sum up my day-to-day existence. You've got rebellion in the first line, messes in the second and, in the third, unexpected moments of utter sweetness covering it all. What is it they say about 'out of the mouths of babes...?' "

Sigh. I love my job.
