Sam is a Boy!

Ok, so Sam said his first volitional (not coerced or in repitition) "love you mom" today. It's just funny when he said it. Pearl usually says these things to me when we're cuddling, or after we have done a pedicure or something. Sam said these treasured words at Little Gym, where he was repeatedly jumping on the bar and swinging himself off onto the mat. He was pretty independent, so instead of helping him, I waited on the mat to tickle him. That's when he said it. Apparently, he loves me when I take him places where he can do things that would normally injure him without getting hurt. What a boy!
