I love you

It must be fitting that it's Valentine's Day weekend, because all I can think of tonight as I sit in the dim light of my office is how much I love our children. It's funny to think how different they are, yet so perfectly matched. They know just how to make me laugh, and unknowingly make me cry. Tonight...I did both at the same time watching our son talk.

This is our little man. He will be three years old in April. You wouldn't know he is any different from other 3 year old boys by looking at this photo. His smile speaks volumes, no?

He tells me he likes my hat.

And that he would like to do a puzzle.

The one with the fish (Nemo) is his favorite.

And the turtle.

The one with the tree is fun too.

And the duck (Donald).

He also likes to read books.

He is three feet tall, a mere thirty pounds, and has taught me more about patience, committment, and strength than I have ever known. Most importantly, he has taught me how to say "I love you" without saying it at all.
