I love you!

Last night Mike was working in the 2nd bedroom, which we are preparing for Gianna's transition to a bed and I was folding laundry. Mike called out that Gianna gave him a "big" hug. I asked Gianna if she could give me a big hug too. She ran in the room and flung herself at me. I told her I love you. Then she said, I love you! This is the first time she said it to me! I was thrilled beyond anything!
