Everyone always says it."Watch what you say"
"Once they start talking, you have to be careful"
This morning I was changing Ellie. Down she lay, sucking her bink, staring over my shoulder at the tv. Suck suck. She bobbed her head sideways as I obstructed the view.
Onesie snapped. Shirt over head. One leg in, then another. Then I pull her up by her arms, sockets be damned, and tug her jeans over her bum.
Her tiny little arms wrap around my neck and she leans her full weight onto me.
And I give her a big big hug. Because hugs are getting shorter in duration and morning hugs are some of the best. And as I leaned my face into her tiny torso, I breathed deep and focused on the fact that I love this little girl.
And as she hugged back, I heard it.
Her tiny little voice.
"I luff you Mwammey"
Wonder of wonders.
The first time.
Wherever did she hear that?
