Have to capture this moment, because... just because.
Minutes ago I brought you upstairs, turned the dim flower lamp on, changed your diaper, put cozy pajamas on you, read you some of
Giraffes Can't Dance, put you in your crib, closed the blinds (saying goodnight to the moon, trees, and birdies), turned Jimmy Cliff playlist on low, said goodnight to you, your turtle and your bear, gave you three kisses (right cheek, left cheek, right cheek), said and gestured "Mama loves Meseret" and touched your arm. I walked away, and as I was heading down the hallway, you said:
"I lah yah."
I am melted.
Ah, this is amazing! We have not had an independent statement like this yet (although she does repeat it for us when we say it to her), but I can only imagine how absolutely wonderful it will feel! Yay, M!
