Noah said, "I love you, Mom"!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

I can't believe it!!!

I walked by him sitting at the table and kissed him on the head and said, "Have I told you this morning how much I love you?"

And he said, "Iduvumum"

Of course, I was stunned. And I said, "Noah, did you just say, "I love you mom? Yes or No?"

And he said, "Esssss"


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Of course I cried. And called Sim. And called my mom. And Noah was so pleased with himself that he took me by the hand and led me straight to the TV so that he could watch an Elmo video. I guess he thought, "Hey, I told you I love you, so now I get a freebie."

This officially goes down in history as the best day of my life. (Doing carthwheels and happy dances and thanking Jesus).

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

I have been slowing reading through your archives over the past several months and couldn't help but appreciate your resilience, honesty and all-over good humor.

I still clearly remember reading your post where you talk about how God spoke to you and said that Noah would speak around this age. At the time of reading it I felt a great sense of hope and excitement for you. I saw your faith through that post and it was so encouraging. And now to have it actually fulfilled - I am in awe of our Lord! And the fact that of all the things Noah could have said, he said, "I love you, Mom" makes it just that much more amazing. I am just over the moon over this. To have read about your struggles and difficulties and then to have such a boon….WOW!!

Thank you for sharing so much of your story and Noah's story (Nandi’s and Eli's, too). Please let Noah know that there are people in Los Angeles doing a little jig for his great triumph today.

Sorry for novel disguised as a comment. :)

I've lurked for a while from Pam's blog, but thought I'd better join in the celebration! This is all the more sweet because of all the giving and caring you've done, asking nothing in return. I am praising God along with you!
