I lulloo so much

One afternoon a couple of days ago, I was sitting on the kitchen floor when Rowan toddled by and sat on my lap. I gave him a hug and said, " I love you!". He raised his head, looked me in the eye and said, "I lulloo too!"

There have been times when he has said " I lulloo, Mommy," or " I lulloo, Daddy" unprompted. Every time, those words leave us thunderstruck and absolutely humbled.

In this case, I was silent for a whole minute, contemplating the enormity of those words and the fierce emotion they generated.

Meanwhile he was already off rooting for a snack in the pantry.
