I love you...

Last night at dinner we were talking about compliments. I had apparently said something nice to Stef and D piped in and said I never give him any. I told him that if he did a good job at school, but I will not say good job for not turning in your work or anything bad. He kind of smirked but I felt bad. Maybe I don't say enough nice things to him, but at the same time I had a thought and shared it with him. I told him that I tell him I love him at least 2 times a day. When he leaves for school I tell him and when he goes to bed I tell him. I told him that I want him to have a good day at school so I start with something positive and I want him to have a good night so I end with something positive. I also told him that there are some kids that don't hear it at all or hardly ever, so he should be grateful that he does hear it. He thought about that and agreed, and that it was sad that there are kids that don't hear I love you enough!
