I a big boy now

Cooper:  [puts his hand on my cheek and looks me directly in the eye] It’s otay mommy.  Don’t woowy.  I a big boy now.  I do it all by myself.  I lub you mommy.

My heart simultaneously swelled with pride (because it’s exactly what I want my children to grow up and say), and broke into a million little pieces because it’s all going by way too fast.  All I could do his swoop him into me, hug him tight, and tell him I love him.  All through a choked voice and teary eyes.
