Tuesday we spent the afternoon shopping at the outlets.  We found so many great deals for both Noby and Ichiro.  It was a beautiful day to walk around and enjoy the outside.  Settlers’ Green Outlet Village has some of the same stores as Wrentham but this place was so much better.  The backdrop of mountains was just beautiful and there was even a playground for Noby to chill out for a bit.

Tonight was an awesome night!  Every night at bedtime, I lay Noby in his bed, hand him his monkey, cover him with his blanket and say “I love you.”  Then I zip the tent and walk out the room saying “I love you” just one more time.  Tonight as I zipped him in, I said “I love you” and he said it back!  My heart skipped but not wanting to break our routine I continue to zip and said it one more time.  And so did he!!  So it wasn’t EI clear but it was clear enough for a mom to know what he was saying.

I really don’t think it gets better than that!
