When Melina tells me she loves me...

Melina tells me she loves me all the time.  Before she goes to bed, we say the same thing every night.  "I love you Melina", and she replies with " I love you Mommy."  Then "Goodnight baby", and she replies with "Goodnight Mommy."  I love hearing the words, I love you, from her.  Whenever I'm feeling down, it will immediately pick me up.  There are times we'll be in the middle of playing and she'll say out of nowhere all excited "I love you!" while shes giggling. 

I probably tell Melina I love her at least 20-30 times a day, just so I can hear her say it back.  "I love you too Mommy" or "I love you too" or even the new answer I sometimes get, "I know" gives me the greatest joy.  Hearing my baby say I love you fills my heart with a feeling I just can't explain.  That look that she gives me, like she's smiling with her eyes, makes my heart flutter. 

How does it make you feel when your kids tell you I love you?

Words can't describe it and that feeling never changes. My only son is 25 and I love you are still the last words we say to each other. There is nothing as special or more pure and honest than when it comes from the mouths of babes. Wonderful post with great picutures.

I love it, and when my girls call me mommy-even at ages of 27,23, 18 & 14

It's the best feeling in the world.

I always made it point to tell my kids I loved them whenever the opportunity arose (at least 50 times a day). We still do it and we don't say goodbye - ever. We say "I love you". My heart just glows with it.
Carlie just recently started saying it back and it is THE BEST!

So sweet. :'o)
I used to have a "thing" that I said with my youngest, up until she got too old and thought it was too silly.....
Mommy: "Who loves you, baby?"
My youngest: "Mommy does."

Oh, I agree, it's the best!!!! My kids and I have a game that we play, we say "I love you..." and then add a 100 so's to it before ending with much. We try to out do each other with the so's. It's so funny!! My daughter just started this game that my son and I played all the time. I love hearing it from her too!! I can't wait for my youngest son to start saying it!!!

And I also love the look they give you when it seems they are smiling with their eyes at you!!! It's the most humbling, and lifting thing!!

When Melina was younger I used to ask her, "Who's mommys baby?" She would say "I am!" SOOOO CUTE!

My son does the same thing. I also tell him I love him several times a day. The feeling is indescribable. He also tells me I am the best mommy in the world. I love hearing that!
