An I love you day.

An I love you day.

Alex says this all the time. He says "Mommy, it's an I love you day." And I don't really get an answer when I ask him what that means. He shakes his head, rolls his eyes, and says "it means I LOVE YOU." With such a "duhhhhh" undertone. Sigh. Sometimes, he says "It's not an I love you day." Then we had this conversation the other day:

Alex: "Mommy, my heart is so broken."

Me: "Oh. Well what does that mean?"

Alex: "Well, it means you have to say 'I love you.'"

Me: "Okay, I love you."

Alex: "It's all pieced together now!" With a very serious tone of accomplishment. Like, in that moment something had changed for him.

Silly.
