For the first time ever...

Ella told me "love you!" without prompting today. Usually I have to say "I love you" first, or else coach her somehow. This time, right out of the blue, she said "Love you!". Actually...it went that I handed her a box of raisins. She said "Thank you, Mommy!" and I said "You're welcome, baby!" and she said "Love you!"





Maybe it's silly, but I've been waiting for this day since she was born.
