Sweet words

Samantha is having a rough time with her knee the last couple of days. I keep having to put her in time out and things are a bit rough between us. So, when Sam looks over at me and says, "I love you, mommy" it is no surprise to me when I start to tear up. Sam goes a bit further. "You know when I was little and I'd cry? Every time I cried, I was saying "I love you, I love you, I love you!" Well, that one tipped me over the edge and I definitely had the little drops on my cheeks. I said I love you too.

Where does she get these things to say?

Joshua is standing up now and then on his own without holding onto anything. He is now doing that about once a day. Two teeth are working their way through the top gums. Poor guy seems to take that all in stride. The only thing that really gets him upset now is Sam's screaming. He starts to scream in sympathy.
