Real Self-Esteem

GB: Mom, can I sleep with you?
(It was 6:50am.)
Me: Ok...
He snuggles up beside me tucking his little body right into the curve of mine. He takes my hand and hugs it to his chest.
Me: I love you, GB.
GB: I love you, too, Mom.
Pause.
GB: Daddy loves me too.
Me: You're right. Daddy does love you.
GB: My whole family loves me.
Pause.
GB: And I love myself.
Thought: Maybe I am doing something right.
