Love this kid

The other night I was checking on Tuck before I went to bed about midnight or so. I rearranged him in his bed, put a blanket over him and kissed him on the cheek. As I was walking out of the room, I heard a little voice say, "night mama, i love you." I turned around to check on him, cause he was fast asleep before and his little eyes were barely cracked open. He said it again to me, thumb in the mouth the whole time. I just about cried that he did this half asleep, and yet he knew it was me. Plus, I was having a pretty crappy day and throwing myself my own pity party that I do every now and again. It was so sweet, I love this boy tons. He knew just what I needed. Every night when I put him in bed, he doesn't let me leave the room without telling him goodnight and that I love him at least 3 times. And even after I close the door, I hear him yelling "I love you!" at least a couple more times through the door. It's a good thing he's such a mama's boy cause he's growing up way to fast and I still need him to be a baby a little longer.
