The other night, I was lying on the couch in the after-dinner I'm so tired, hopefully there won't be any major fights so I can rest for 10 minutes haze—when all of a sudden, T appeared in front of my face and said, "I love you." Be still my heart! I hugged him and hugged him and kissed him all over. Such a sweet boy.
We've taught the older kids a little trick to say "I love you" when we're out in public. You hold someone's hand and then squeeze it three times. The kids love doing this, especially S and H. H always seems to know just when I need that "I love you" squeeze. And he looks so proud of himself for knowing the secret language.
I wish I were better at being more patient with them, but I'm so grateful that I have little people who are so good at knowing just when Mom needs a little extra love.

I love the idea of a secret hand squeeze. So cute!!
Cute idea...were your kids shy about saying it in public? Frankly I'm somewhat surprised that my kids haven't been more shy about it. I'm still waiting for the look that says " Mom...not in front of my friends..." but so far no sign of it.
Glad your babies are taking care of their mama!!! now if you can get them to do the dishes as they are saying I love you!! hee hee
I like you secret language!!
