is it that important to you?


so, amelie loves to play games with our hearts and has always rejected telling us she loves us--with words anyways--she tells us everyday with hugs and the sweet things she does...but for months i've been trying to get her to say the words. even while driving i would try to trick her into saying it--mama says, "i..." amelie repeats "i..." mama says, "love" amelie repeats....mama says, "mama (of course)!" amelie says--blankie! donut! stroller! and for the last two weeks she has been torturing me by saying--"i love you gigi!" but actually she says it all cute like, "i wuv ooo gigi." anyways, today we finally tricked her into expressing her love for us verbally and it was worth the wait. i love that kid and tell her a million times a day--it was nice to hear it once though ;-)

Better watch that one when she grows up! Hadlei tells us she loves us all the time. I love hearing it because it sounds so cute! I'm sure this whole time Amelie has been saying it in her mind - she just wanted to see how far she could push you. Kids these days are too darn smart!
