I think allowing the closeness is a really hard thing to do and I'm proud of you for taking the risk. It is so great that she understand so completely how important all the little things are and how she can read what you tell her and respond to it (most of the time anyways.:) )
What I also really like, is that she has a sense that you need an image of yourself as beautiful inside and outside - that all of you is wonderful and lovely. Most little girls get this early on - they are made to feel special and beautiful by their parents. When it is missing, a lot of confidence in who we are and what we look like, goes missing. I think so many people think it is only about our internal selves, but I believe that it is also about our external selves - knowing we won't be rejected because of our looks or style as well as our personalities.
I'm glad things are going well. It makes me miss my own therapist even more.
