I Love You!

Each night when I put Lucas to bed, we have a little cuddle time before I put him in his crib. The lights are out, we snuggle and rock, and then I give him a kiss and tell him I love him. He usually says "something" back to me but it doesn't sound like anything. As you all know, Lucas' speech is a little delayed and it's just compounded by him being a pretty quiet kid. So when we figure out what he is saying, it's a major event because he just doesn't talk that much.

Last night I decided to pay better attention. And we started earlier. I said "Lucas, I love you!" And he smiled and said "I you!" "I love you, Lucas!" "I you!"

"I you!" My little boy loves me! And I you him, too!
