Growing up

There's so much that she understands, as her mind trickles over with curiosity, and opens itself to a whole new world.
We finished up our bath time routine on schedule, when we found ourselves making faces into the mirror.
'Show mommy your 'happy' face' I said. We both smiled our biggest smiles. So big in fact our eyes disappeared.
'Show mommy your 'sad' face. I said. We both stared at our frowning faces in the mirror. It was then that Becca started sniffling, and used her index finger to show a tear falling down her face. 'Boo hoo'. She cried. Amazing.
'Show mommy you 'Angry' face.' I said.
'Angry' Becca repeated, as she gave her most cross expression. We both shared a good laugh, followed by hugs and kisses.

Becca will be 17 months next week. Our little girl is growing up.
