"I loveth you Mommy"

I'm gonna blog about my adorable three year old little son who
loves to call himself "Thackery".

I was at the airport saying good bye to him in the van. I showed
him my "ILY" sign to Zachary, knowing he will try to do the same
in return.

Immeditely, he tried to do the ILY sign. For a few months now,
he's been trying to get that little pinky finger of his to go up
so he can do it right. He did many variations like pinky finger
and index but the thumb down. This time, he managed to use his
thumb and index finger.

I had to take a picture because I know one day he'll do the sign
"ILY" perfectly.

I think little things, little errors children make like this,
make a child so endearing and lovable. His hands clumsy and
the way he looks at his little fingers and the way he tries
to move his fingers in the right position.

He tells me, "I Loveth you Mommy, Mith me? I mith you!" He is
always giving me kisses and is such an affectionate child. Zachary
is truly a joy in my life. I always ask him "How is my favorite son?"
I cannot imagine my life without my ray of sunshine.

Okay, you know what is totally awesome about this picture? It is that although that pinky isn't up and regardless of the fact that sometimes he can't organize is thumb an index finger--to create the standard symbol of love...Zachary already knows exactly what it means. And pinky down or pinky up, he knows that you know, that he loves you.
