I kept meaning to post this because I thought it was so cute. Every month in school the teachers send him a homework project for him to work on. In February we were supposed to practice cutting out hearts but, more importantly, we talked about Jesus and how he loved everyone. I told Harrison that you should love everyone, like Jesus, even if he didn't know them. As with most of our conversations, he tends to just nod a couple of times as I'm talking and then say, "can I go now?" (In fact, I've started withholding his snack when I pick him up from school until he tells me 2 different things about what they did at school. And, you know I had to make it "different" things b/c he was basically telling me that "he played outside and he also played outside.") So, back to my point. I didn't think Harrison had been listening to our conversation about Jesus' love until the following day we were in the grocery line and as we were walking away after paying, Harrison leaned over and told the bagger "I love you." I knew exactly why he said it and I was proud of him for it but then I was in the awkward place of having to whisper to him that maybe you don't need to really SAY it to everyone you don't know but just feel it. Here is a picture from February 2008 of me and my little heartbreaker.
While I'm writing about Harrison's love for everyone (he also yelled out "I love you" to his friend Eloise last week as we were driving away from her house) I wanted to mention a post I wrote last fall about how Harrison had made me cry by out of the blue telling me he didn't love me. He has made up for it tenfold since then. I think he tells me at least 3 times a day that he loves me. It just pops up everywhere and all the time and, you know what?, that kind of makes me cry too :)
