Sometimes Clay has to travel for work, which can make for some lonesome times for Ben and I. The good part about this not-so-great facet of his work is that when Clay is going to be out of town for several nights in a row, Ben and I can use Clay's frequent flyer miles to go visit my parents.
So... less than four days after we saw my parents in San Antonio, Ben and I flew to west Texas to stay with them for a few days this week.
Even in this short amount of a time (since last seeing his grandparents), Ben has progressed from saying "krampa" to "grampa." He has also started interjecting "gooness!" ("goodness!") and "pufict!" ("perfect!") into conversations. However, his most fabulous verbal development was when he said "I love you" to me (for the first time ever) after a nice lunch with my parents. He had said "I love" to Clay before, but never to me.
Heart melted.
