I am grieving the loss of one of my favorite Samuel sayings today. I find, for me, that motherhood is a tug of war between my desire for my children to grow and progress and my desire for them to stay where they are. This afternoon I was observing Samuel standing on a stool at one of our kitchen islands eating out of a bag of Pirate Booty looking so content and proud of himself. He was just so cute my heart gushed and I said "Samuel, I love you!" expecting to hear my favorite reply "La Loo!". Instead "Luf you" popped out of his little mouth and my previous delight melted into a puddle of mixed emotions; excitement at his getting close to mastering a new word and disappointment that my little boy is moving on.
La Loo Samuel!!
