And she said it first to her Grammy! YEAH - I can't smile big enough! Elani and I were out shopping on Sunday, January 21, 2007 and we were in the car driving to the Mall. Usually when we get on I-4 Elani sees things that she recognizes, but we were going a different way, so the usual retention ponds and billboards of "SHREK" were not on this route. As she asked and I had to keep telling her "not, we won't see them today", she got a little discouraged. So I reached my hand to the back seat and gave her little leg a squeeze and a shake as I said, "I LOVE YOU"!
And then I heard those three magic words come out so sweetly and cute. "I LUB U". I almost cried right there on the spot. I was thrilled...... so I did it again and she replied the same way!
Who knew, those words could touch the depths of my heart with such intensity and make such an impact on me. It was just what I needed that morning! After doing a little shopping we played in the Mall playground to play, had Elani's favorite lunch in the Mall (chicken nuggets and fries) before heading home for a nap. It was the best time. I love shopping with Elani and sharing lunch with her. In fact, I love anytime I get to spend with Elani and just me.
