A Blessing of Affections

As we were driving to church Sunday evening I was reflecting on the week.  It occurred to me that C had become more affectionate this week.  He's always been a snuggle bug, giving lots of hugs.  But this week he started voluntarily giving kisses, over the weekend he started doing it on a regular basis.  I commented about this to Jonathan and agreed and added that he's been talking more too.  Is this fruit of bonding and attachment?  Or is there another cause?  I pray it's the first.  Praise the Lord!
