I love you too

Kai has really been tugging at my nerves. I think he is the worst listener out of all his friends. He is very stubborn and strong willed. I'll ask him to come here and he will look at me and go the other way. It's frustrating! However when I was putting him to bed for his nap today I told him "mommy loves you" as I do everyday and today he said "I love you too". All my frustrations dropped and now I can't wipe that smile off my face. He is learning his independence and with that independence comes understanding.
