What Every Mother Wants to Hear

Yesterday, as we were sitting at lunch, Jackson and I, it was quiet...unusual for our house. Then, Jackson said, "I love you," and as I looked at him he was smiling at me and said it again, "I love you." Ah...talk about making your heart skip a beat! He has said the phrase before, but never spontaneously, always in imitation. Yesterday was the first time he said it on his own. Then, today, he turned to me as we sat eating lunch on a park bench and said, "I love you too." I guess he picked the "too" up from us, as we are always saying, "I love you too," to each other and to him. Anyway, just thought I'd share a moment to document in time! He's growin' up so fast!! One more month today and our little boy will be two. (Of course, today I asked him how old he was and he said "Three"...don't go skippin' years on me boy!)
