Funny, how we repeat over and over I-love-yous and other words to this effect to kids, when the phrase just flies right over their heads, and we often forget to repeat it as often to the people our age (spouses, relatives, friends), who could actually make sense of it.

Soon enough he'll be bandying the phrase about like an old pro (but unlike an old pro he'll mean it).
Ben says it to us, often unprovoked, and even though he may not have a firm understanding of its meaning, it sure feels good to hear him say it.
You'll melt. Absolutely.
