From the Mouths of Babes:
You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget, and it's good for them to get reminded.

- Delightful!! How I wish there was an internet in the home when my children were young to discover ideas that you would never think of otherwise...books are great, but stumbling on something accidentally like this is even better:-)
