Sweet Words

Our daughter E is sick and we are had an early nap. The 3 oldest kids had a quick lunch and after I washed her I picked her up and held her for a minute. She looks at me very seriously and says "I". I'm blank. What? "I" she says again smiling. Then it hits me. Every day before bed I tell E to say "I" say "love" say "you". Waiting in between words so she can mimic me. I tell E "I" She looks at me and smiles. "Say I" she says again. "I" I say. "uve" says my almost 2 year old. "Love" says a very blessed Momma. "You" she finishes. "You" I say. Then she giggles and snuggles for a minute. Then it's off to bed. What a blessing children are.
