The three worst words

When we're having a couple minutes of snuggle time before nap, few words invoke more fear into my little baby than "I love you."  

We're pretty much just relaxing and swaying and snuggling and loving our lives when I think "okay, time to put her in her crib."  I whisper those three little words and instantly, her whole body tenses, two tiny little fists clench my shirt sleeves, and the saddest little panic of a whimper sets in. 

Every time I'm always like "dang it! I wasn't going to do that again!" but I forget. I'm still trying to get myself in the habit of something else like "I'll see you when you wake up" or something but I can never seem to remember in time. 

That poor girl.
