Mama's Favorite Girl

(optional title: "Why We Really Have Children: To Feel Good About Ourselves")

I was putting Kate to bed tonight, happily signing her her spanish "Mama's little baby loves shortin'" song, and putting on her post-bath diaper. As I am putting her diaper on, she signs "more." I tell her "Sorry, pumpkin, no more bath." She looks at me puzzled. She signs "more" again. I sign "More bath"? Nope. "More milk"? Nope. "More music" and voila! She signs "more music!"

Never has anyone ASKED me to sing before. So sing I did. And man she got groovy.

In other news, Kate weighs 26 pounds! No wonder my back is killing me. I am done carrying her. She can walk from now on.
