Tonight J’s been singing to himself in his crib for two hours. When I went in to tell him to settle down a half hour ago, I told him that he needed to settle down and go to sleep so that he would be awake early enough to go on tomorrow’s playdate with his friends. Then, I told him I loved him and asked him if he loved me.
“I doooo,” he answered.
I know I shouldn’t be suprised, but he doesn’t talk to me often. He jabbers, he repeats words, he screams. Once in a while, though, he says something outside of his normal pattern that it just catches me off guard, like his affirmation of his love for me.
Ahhhh. I’m in love all over again.

I know what you mean. Now when we put seamonkey to bed and he’s not tired, he yells from the crib “mommmmmmaaaaaaaa”. I never thought I’d hear those words coming from that room. Tears me up every time!
