Spontaneous expressions of love

It's a very rare occasion that Todd initiates an "I love you" all on his own. Usually he responds "I love you, too!" when someone says it first-- and even then, only half the time.

By the time we finished the list, he then piped up, without any prompting whatsoever:

"And... I love Great-Uncle!"
