The Best Christmas Present

While I really appreciate the fabulous gifts I received from all of you, (serious, thanks!) I have to say that Ayden's present was the best one this year. On Christmas day in front of multiple witnesses, Ayden declared his love for me! I was sitting there, holding my 10 month old nephew and telling him how fabulous he is and that I love him so much. He pulled back, looked right at me and spoke his first complete sentence, "I love Laura." I screamed in delight and asked the people all around me if they had heard that. They of course started claiming that is sounded kind of like it, but they weren't so sure. So while they were busy denying it, Ayden turned to Lisa, sitting next to me, and his mom, a couple seats away, and he very clearly and slowly restated, "I love Laura." It was completely clear and undeniable. Even Lisa had to concede that his first clear sentence was "I love Laura." Doug, Christina, Analisa, and Shawn also witnessed it. Although Shawn claims he is not convinced the Ayden knows what he is saying. I am. Ayden loves me! And it was his first sentence and no one can deny it. And he knows what he said! Now if only I could train the men in my life to respond so well. Hope all your Christmases were fabulous.
