I mentioned that my mom was here for a couple of days. On the first night she was here, Rachel was just beside herself with excitement. She was running around and around in the play room, showing off for Grandma. All of a sudden, she ran over, threw her arms around my mom, and said, "Gwammaw, I wub you!" We were all so taken aback and excited, because she had never told us I love you before on her own....just repeating it sometimes when I say it to her. My mom, of course, was thrilled to be the recipient of such sweet affection.
She then started running back and forth between the three of us...."Mommy, I wub you," "Daddy, I wub you," etc, and giving us all big hugs, over and over.
Lately she's been calling things her "favwit." The other day in the car with my mom she wanted sunglasses. Hers were in the other car, so Grandma said she could wear hers. "Thank you, Gwammaw, deese are my favwit!" Yesterday she brought her jack-in-the-box into the kitchen where I was cooking dinner. "Mommy, dis is my favwit toy evah!" she told me.
I wub my sweet girl. She's my favwit.

It's so neat when your child tells you "I love you!" spontaneously! My kids are very different in this way - Nicholas rarely says he loves us or gives us kisses, and Andrew says it quite a bit and is big on kisses right now. :)
