Finally! He said it!

It was an evening just like every other evening: I was taking clothes out of the dryer (now in the family room closet), Tim was playing with Mark at his train table (in the same room). Adam was up in bed already (hard day -- first shots), and Mark was saying "Ready, GO!" over and over, when he stopped and said "Daddy" and turned and gave Daddy a big hug.

He wasn't done.

"Mommy," he said, running over to me with his arms outstretched. I bent over for a big, two-armed hug.

"I love you," I said to him (like I do every time I can).

"I love you," my little (big) boy squeaked. He even used different inflection, to make me think he was saying it, not just saying it.

It was even better because we'd had a rough morning today. Maybe I bought it with Teddy Grahams after supper. Whatever.

What a nice way to end the day.

Ohhh...that is one of the very best firsts there is...even better than the first smile, IMO :)

I have to keep telling Leo not to keep trying to MAKE Aislinn say "I love you." I know she'll say it when she's ready and she means it.

Oh, that made me smile. Those are two lucky little boys you have living in your house.

Jonathan calls Tara "Sweetie" pretty frequently. It cracks us up.
