We have a bed-time ritual we go through each night with Josiah. We gave him his bath tonight and afterwards we were lathering him up with lotion and clipping nails. It helps if we try to distract him while doing this. Tonight, to distract him, we were signing "I Love You" and saying it to Josiah. He signed and said it back! It was so sweet. After brushing his teeth, we read a story and say our bedtime prayers. At the end of our prayers tonight, Josiah said "mamen!" It was so cute. Finally, I put him in his crib, turned on his glow worm and tucked him in. As I walked out the door, I said "I love you" like I do every night. The difference tonight was Josiah said back to me, "love you." *sigh* He is soooooooo sweet. :-)
awwwwwwwww :O)
