OT: My son said I love you!!!!!.... sort of

[Guest guest]

Bittersweet moment here:

My 5 yr old son has never spontaneously said " I love you. " He can

repeat it if you ask him to, and he will say " yes " if I ask him if he

loves Mommy. Sometimes he'll get goofy and say " no " ; always laughing

like it is the best joke ever.

Two nights ago I put him to bed with the regular " I love you " . He

looked over the side of his bed for his beloved railroad crossing sign

(just a round metal sign) on the floor and said, " I love you railroad

sign. " The speech was perfect and the tone was very sincere

AUGH! I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.

Am I next????

I just had to share with people who understand.
