My 2 year old daughter just walked up to me out of nowhere, put her little hand on my face and said 'I love you daddy'. I was making lunch, had no idea it was coming. Now I'm sitting here at work and can't stop thinking about it. Best day ever. Seriously nothing compares to this.
Man, those moments hit different. I still remember when my oldest first said it and I nearly dropped what I was making. Three kids later and it still gets me every time.
That's gold. My 2 year old did something similar last month and I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. You'll remember exactly what you were making forever now.
Dude, that's the stuff right there. Forget the chaos and the coffee crashes - those random 'I love you' moments are why we do this. Congrats on that one.
I'm not crying you're crying. Seriously though that hand on the face thing is so pure. My son did something similar last month and I had to excuse myself for a minute. These little moments are everything.
The hand on the face gets me every time. That's peak toddler affection right there.
This right here is why we do it all. Two year olds are just the best at those random out-of-nowhere moments. Congrats on the love declaration, that's a major milestone.
This is the stuff that makes everything else worth it. All the tough days and the exhaustion just disappears when they do something like that.
Man, those moments hit different. I still remember my daughter doing that for the first time. You're gonna want to soak that in because they grow up stupid fast. Does she say it a lot now or was that a one-time thing?
That moment right there. I got emotional just reading this. Those unsolicited I love yous from your toddler are basically the whole reason we do this.

Man that's the good stuff right there. Two years old and already melting your heart like that. Those unprompted I love yous hit different than anything else in the world.
