Ay Wa U

On Monday, Erik was busy staying awake late into the night and spending some extra loving minutes with his grandparents before they leave for New York to visit Erik's Uncle Jo. When Erik couldn't take it anymore...being so tired from his day's of work at school (hey, being a toddler is hard work!), he'd rubbed his eyes and run (screaming) for Mommy (Translation: I want to nurse to sleep N.O.W!)

As Mommy, Erik, and Daddy lay in bed to try to sleep. Erik made the mental connection that "Ba Ba" (Chinese) means Daddy. He'd turned to Daddy and say "Ba Ba (pause) Daddy" and smiled LOL! Our little smartie pants! So, Mommy asked Erik to say "I Love You, Daddy" to his best friend, Daddy, of course!. Well, it came out to be "Ay Wa U, Daddy" but that was enough to send Daddy the mushiest feeling ever and a round of great big hugs and squeezes to our darling son!

SIGH! "Ay Wa U" is a beautiful thing!
