Out of the mouth of a 2 year-old

Words. You have a lot of them Asher! Your vocabulary began exploding around 18 months and just hasn't quit. You amaze Papa and I each day with the new sentences you put together. But tonight, you said the sweetest of all things...

Sissy was reclined in her rocker drinking her bottle. You were circling around her. Admiring her almost. "Sissy... Sissy..." Then you bent down to kiss her head. "Ya-ov (Love) you Sissy..." This was the first time you've told someone "Love you" on your own. Usually you say it back to us or when we prompt you to do so: "Tell Nana you love her". Papa and I looked and each other and melted. So sweet. You are a tender heart Asher dear. Filled with love and kindness for others. A sensitive little soul.
