First I Love You's

After hearing "I love cake!" and "I love this book!" I knew Luke could differentiate what he liked, disliked, and even LOVED. But he still hadn't responded to my "I love you." At a prompting he said it to Grandma, but not to us.

Today I heard those sweet words.

As I was leaving for work this morning,
Luke: Bye Mama.
Mama: Bye baby. I love you.
Luke: I love you.

Later in the evening I talked to him after he sat in a time out. I explained what he did and why it was not ok. We always make sure to give him a hug and tell him we love him and he gets in trouble.
Mama: I love you. We want the best for you, that's why you need to obey. I love you.
Luke: (thru tears and with a big hug) I love you.

He told me he loved me three times today! That's been Luke's style...when he learns something new he goes all out. Today I was blessed by it!
