Mommy, love you

A couple nights ago, Kimmie signed, "Mommy, love you." It had been years since I last saw Kimmie sign "love". I was surprised to see her sign this. It is just not something she says. In fact we sometimes play a kind of game with Kimmie. We ask her who she loves. She usually responds with Aladdin, Jafar, Danny Phantom, and various other cartoon characters. We will keep asking her until she either ignores us or starts listing family members, but we are usually way down on her list.

Kimmie may not say "love" often, but we always feel her love as she smiles at us, hugs us, holds our arms as we walk, scoots over and sits next to us . . .

But I'll treasure the memory of her saying "Mommy, love you."
