Ever since Joy was born I have told her that I love her countless times every day. She is one of the most hugged and kissed kids around, by both her daddy and me.

Well Sunday morning I went into her room to get her up, and in her sleepy haze she rested her little head in my lap and said, "I luf you, Mom."

That was the first time she had spontaneously told me she loves me, and I truly believe she understands what it means. Soon after, she told her pink bear she loves him, so I know she gets it. That bear is her very best friend!

When Joy was born I was so worried she would never understand abstract concepts like love, God, etc. I am absolutely rejoicing that she gets it, and gives it!

Still beaming a day later! ;D

I think we all know what love is by what we see and how we receive it. And that love is what makes us feel so good!

Well, you got me too little Joy Daisy! Wiping my eyes here so early in the morning!!! How wonderful is that...enjoy Mom. There is no way Joy wouldn't understand love when she receives so much of it from you. But it sure feels good to hear them say it!!!

By the way, I love your quote from Homer!
