Little A said this to me spontaneously for the first time today and my heart melted.
For several months now, she's responded "La la" when we say "I love you" to her. She says it in the same inflection as I love you, so it got the point across just fine. But tonight as I was getting her changed for bedtime, she looked up at me and said clear as day (well, as clear as a 1 year old can): "I love you." I made her repeat it until she wouldn't anymore.
I still remember when Big A said I love you for the first time too. It was Mother's Day when she was nearly 2. Not that I compare my two girls or anything... ;-) Well, if I did, Little A's got a few months on Big A, but that's pretty much par for the course.
In Big A news, today we had a great playdate at the playground with my cousin and her kids. Big A has always been very shy and standoffish and takes a while to warm up...usually till the end of a playdate. Today, it was a new Big A. She came in with a smile and played like crazy. When we got in the car, she told me that she wasn't going to be shy anymore and she had lots of fun. And also that my cousin's daughter was her best friend. It was precious and I was happy for her. I love to see her having fun and shedding her shyness. Hopefully it sticks.
And on that note, my heart is just about full of "la la" tonight!
