Saying "I Love You"

Tonight after I put C to bed, I ran to the computer to blog this momentous occasion. C went into her crib, asked for Kitty, Bear, and George, in turn--and received them. I told her "Mommy loves you," kissed my fingers and pressed the kiss to her cheek. She kissed her hand and reached out to me. I asked her, "Can C say 'I love you'?" And she did! Rather clearly, "I wuf oo." Twice...the second time was after she saw how happy it made me. Wow...what an evening. My eyes are tearing up. What a sweet, sweet moment.
