Mommy!

Mom gave baby her bath tonight, and I poked my head in the door and watched my precious splash around in the tub for a little while without her knowing I was there. Part of what was fun to watch was the joy baby was taking in the amazing liquid encircling her. And part of what was fun to watch was the harmony between baby and her mom. I’m clear that baby loves me, and I’m clear that she loves me a lot, a lot. But there’s something stirring about seeing a ten-month-old living in a world constituted of herself and her food source, best friend, and protector all rolled into one.
