Tuck her in bed. Hand her her bo bo.
Mom: Good night Jessie. Mommy loves you.
Jessie: I like you.
Typical good bye at Richmond State School:
Mom: Bye Baby. Mommy loves you.
Jessie: I like you mom.
Theresa, an aide asked me about this. I told her that Jessie had never used the word 'love'. My theory was she understood 'like' and was comfortable with it. I told her it was fine, we understood each other perfectly.
Phone call I recieved from Jessie today:
Mom: Hello?
Jessie: Hi Mom.
Mom: Hi Jess! I was thinking about you!
Jessie: Mom?
Mom: What baby?
Jessie: Wheres daddy?
Mom: At work.
.

.
Jessie: Mom?
Mom: What sweetie?
Jessie: I love mom.
Mom: JESSIE. YOU SAID IT! Oh my gosh I LOVE YOU TOO! Thank you baby.

Theresa and Stacy said they have been working on it for days. She told me she loved me three times.
And I thought I didn't have anything to say today.....
