& i think she's so pretty, too.

One of those moments:

I was fresh out of the shower, combing my hair in the bathroom and eavesdropping on Mike & Natalie's conversation as he changed her diaper in anticipation of naptime.  "Are you sure you want to wear your shoes to bed?"  "Yes, daddy.  Wear a-shoes!"  "Okay, but it seems awfully silly..." 

& then she said the sweetest words, right out of the blue:  "Mommy's so pretty."

& I died right there in the bathroom.  Wet hair.  No makeup.  PJ's back on for the foreseeable future.  And I felt the prettiest I ever have in my whole life.
