Pronounced wah I knee... wo ai ni means "I love you". We have said wah I knee since we got AJ and also in English I love you. I'm not sure if AJ knows what he is saying but I like to think so. At least I think he knows the meaning of "I love you". Recently he has started saying I love you back to us. It is sooooo wonderful. Actually, he is saying "ai ni Mama" or "ai ni Baba"...which is "love you Mama" or "love you Baba". He smiles and kisses us and the world just seems right. He also tells the kids he loves them also. It makes me feel so good that he wants us. That was one of my worries when we chose to adopt. What if the child doesn't love us? What if he won't bond? Oh, I know there will be times when he doesn't like or even love us, but for now we are soaking it all in. It also makes me think about our Heavenly Father who has adopted us. How often do I say, "I love you" to Him. He has blessed our family so much, in countless ways and do I say "thank you"? I need to do that more and put a smile on His face!
