Now That's Self Esteem!

Christmas was a rough day for Delaney. Somehow on Christmas Eve, she ended up watching Netflix till 11:30pm, while I was distracted by a rowdy game of "5 Crowns" with my family and Dan fell asleep on the couch. Combined with the other late nights, early mornings, and romping to exhaustion with her cousins, she was one tired puppy yesterday. Much whining and crying and drama occurred between the delighted giggles and joyful play.

Last night as I tucked her in, she said it was hard to tell that I loved her when I spoke in a grumpy voice to her. And I certainly did use a grumpy voice on her yesterday. I explained that I always loved her, even when I used a grumpy voice. We chatted about that and I told her how much her Heavenly Father also loved her, even when she wasn't being a good girl, He loved her, just like I did. She got a big grin and her eyes went wide and she whispered conspiratorially, "I think I'm His Favorite!!"
