I love you, too

Posted by kara

One of my favorite moments: Paul had been playing with Toshi all morning and I was quietly sitting next to them. Then Toshi says, “I need Mommy. I love Mommy.” I think that is what she said. That is how I’m remembering it anyway.

Now she will often say, “I love you, too,” as a reply to someone saying, “I love you.” And she also likes saying, “I miss you, too.”

Another favorite moment: She was absentmindedly lightly touching my face with her hand. I said, “Aw, I love when you touch my face.” And then she upped her effort and started slapping me in the face with lots of quick slaps.

Right now, she can’t get enough of her bears. Every time she wakes up, she just wants to stay in her crib and play bears with whoever is getting her. Or she wants to play with Pablo and Uniqua– her birthday cake toppers! I love this age when anything can be her favorite toy. She also loves Thomas the Tank Engine. I got her to eat something she was refusing to eat by singing the Thomas song to her. Or maybe I said it was Thomas food. I don’t remember, but she ate it up. Heh.
