Caleb's thoughts on love

Caleb may be a bit young (with a slight lack of English vocabulary) to do a full interview with at this point. He can get lost in thought, (just sit him down with a bunch of Legos or his cars) but hasn't quite found his voice to fully express himself just yet.

He is a boy of few words at this point (note that I didn't say quiet ~ he expresses himself LOUDLY, just doesn't use a whole lot of words yet) but I must write down a conversation I had with him Thursday night as I tucked him in.

When I was getting ready to turn out the light, I looked into his beautifully expressive eyes and said, "Mommy loves you!"
He got a wry grin on his face and said, "Naaaahh!" I repeated myself and he again giggled and said, "Naaahh!" Then the third time I told him that I loved him, he smiled and said, "Yaaaah!," all the while nodding his head in that funny little way he does it. (Open mouth and dramatic head nodding ~ I've got to catch it on video!)

Then I decided to ask him a few questions, "Caleb, do you love Mommy?" Big, open mouth head nod
"Caleb, do you love Daddy?" Big, open mouth head nod.
"Caleb, do you love jie jie (Kylie)" Big, open mouth head nod.
"Caleb, do you love Maya?" Big, open mouth head nod.

So then I decided to see if he was paying attention. "Caleb, do you love broccoli?" Twinkle in his eyes, open mouth head nod, giggle, "Naaahhh!"

Guess he was listening...
