Turing a Day Around

Today was a rough day with Madelyn.  She has a cold and she is hitting her "terrible twos" with defiance everywhere.  After a bedtime that involved fighting a diaper change and putting pajamas on, throwing her toothbrush, and general uncooperativeness she ran to give us hugs before getting in her bed and for the first time said (with no prompting) "Love you!"  Suddenly, the day was not so bad.
