"I need you, mommy"

This is Christian's new phrase. I love this for 2 reasons. First, his speech has so improved that he says it perfectly. Second, not so long ago, he was in the throes of a big "daddy" phase and only wanted daddy for everything. Now, when I scoop him up to go to bed, he doesn't fuss and beg for daddy. He plans what books we are going to read and he rubs my back. He says this when he wants to do his puzzles. He doesn't need help. He just wants me to sit there and observe. The boy loves an audience. His other new phrase is "I love you so much". This also warms my heart but I have also overheard him saying this to his favorite babysitter, Katie. What can I say? Boys are fickle.
