K, you are talking better every day now.

So last night we were waiting for H to finish her new Tuesday gymnastics class.

Over in the corner by the front door they have a couch.

We were sitting on it to pass the time.

We first just sat.

But in no more than a second, you wanted a snack.

Then you wanted my phone. And then a hug.

You got down off the couch and almost immediately wanted back up.

Before long, you were eating a tortilla and looking out the window for the fifth time.

A few minutes later, Mom got up to peek in the far window and check on H.

As she got just out of earshot you leaned back and emphatically said:

“I love Mama. I love Dada.”

Now I have heard you say “I love you.” before, but only in the third person.

I think that’s the first time you ever told me you love me!

My Kenny.

I love you too.

-Dad
