I Love You!

We have been playing the *muacks* "I love you!" a lot lately. It's actually just an excuse to plant kisses on J's chubby cheeks. She likes that too.

J has also learnt to say the phrase after I play Hi-5's L.O.V.E to her once every few days. (I relaxed my no-screen rule a little.) 

That morning on the bus, she climbed onto my lap. I rolled my eyes, held my breath to control my temper, and was about to go "No standing on the bus!" when I felt her arms wrapped around my neck as she muttered a soft "I love you!"

It didn't matter that I had only three hours of sleep the night before anymore.

(And thank goodness I didn't yell at her.)
