This morning I was greeted with the words 'I love you.' What a fantastic way to start the day. Saturday is normally our day together but I got babysitting duties. Luckily next week is a long weekend and by then the two assignments would have been completed so I would have MY time.

My niece was a lot of fun. I realise that I can have real conversations with her. No baby talk whatsoever. I was giving her biscuits to eat and she told me thank you mommy, then she corrected herself and gave me a lil grin like she realised the mistake that she made. I love watching her grow up.
