Julien was a late talker - he had a few words, but his first word explosion wasn't until he was 2.5. I don't remember the first time he said it back to me, but I do remember the first time he said it on his own.
picture taken *around* the same time |
It was Mother's Day weekend, 2010. I was pregnant with Kyle, and we had taken Julien out to one of our favorite restaurants for an early dinner. He looked across the table at me, started doing a wierd thing with his hands/arms and then ended with "I love you". The following week, I figured out he had been acting out "skinna marinky dinky dink) and he ended it with I love you....but after that, he said it often.
Being pregnant and hormonal at the time, he had me near tears and I still remember the emotions of the day - *almost* 2 years later.
Do you remember the first time your children said it to you? Leave me a comment and let me know!
My daughter is 11 months old and only knows a few words. Can't wait to hear the words "I Love you" come from her =)

No. I am a terrible person! That's why it's a good thing I'm blogging again I guess.

Oh my goodness, I'm sad to say that I don't remember the first time my kids said I love you. But I do know that just yesterday, my 3 year old son was kissing me all over my face and I told my hubby that although I was feeling attacked - one day I would really miss that affection!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!

How cute! I can't say I remember the exact first time but I do remEmebr the general feeling of hearing it when it was new. Now I cherish it everytime I hear it! SASS
ReplyDeleteI don't remember it either, but I'm happy to say that my kiddo's tell me often, so at least I always remember the latest time they did :)

My daughter picked up this little code when she was 9 months old. She would clamp her hands together and move her arms back and forth across her chest in a rocking motion. We never understood what she was trying to convey until she said those 3 little words around 19 months with accompanying movements. It was so sweet to piece it all together. - SASS

Sweet post. I just read this and realized I don't remember. I don't remember the first time my daughter said I love you. I remember the shock and the thrill of the first time she said Mama, but not love you. Girl#2 started signing I Love You when she was still quite young, like maybe a year old. Don't remember the 1st time she said it though. I'm lousy at documenting this stuff. - SASS
