I love you

I used to keep track of his new words – but I lost track.  Now it’s the phrases that capture my attention. Asher has been rolling off the phrases over the last few months, often surprising us as he puts together not a couple words but a full sentence or phrase to express what’s going on for him.

“Bye bye airplane.  Have a nice day.  See you later”

“OK daddy.  Let’s do this!”

today it was

“I love you”

It melts my heart.  There’s nothing a sweet child can say that sounds nicer than I love you.

I could go a dozen directions here, but I’ll be brief and just mark this milestone on the calendar with this blog post.  Today, January 3rd, 2015 – after a play date with Ben and a nice macaroni and cheese lunch, getting ready for a nap, being held in his mothers arms – is the first time our son has said I love you to me and it was awesome.  I can’t wait until he gets up from his nap and says it again.
