3 Little Words

I had the most amazing experience with Julia last night. It was after bathtime, after she'd put on her pajamas and brushed her teeth...she was sitting in my lap and we were cuddling. And then it happened...I heard the three little words that she had never said spontaneously before. She'd say them if I asked her too, but never on her own...

At 4 1/2, my daughter said "I love you" for the first time.

And yes, I cried. :)

Gives me the chills reading that. Because I know exactly how you feel and how much those 3 little spontaneous words mean and how long you waited for them.

Isn't that the best? Adam said that a couple of months ago to me for the first time, "I love you, Mama." I'll never forget it. I'm glad you got your 3 little words.

That must have been quite a moment. I'd have bawled my eyes out too.

That's just terrific to hear about.
