Most Beautiful

My little girl is cute beyond limits. Yesterday when she and I went to a pharmacy store, she was ambling through the makeup and lotion sections. And when something would catch her eye, instead of immediately popping it in the shopping cart she would look at me with questioning eyes. If I shake my head , she would pass up on whatever she was considering. If I say yes, she would place it in the cart!

"Mumma, what can we get from this one?" Was her question for each aisle as we moved through the store.

And then as I browsed looking for one of the items I came for, I lost her in another aisle. Went looking for her and she'd moved elsewhere.. I went from one aisle to another, heartbeat quickening, steps hastening. Then I saw her triumphantly turning from an aisle with a newfound object of interest. When she looked at me, as I was looking at her, we ran to each other in the middle of the aisle and hugged. She leapt into my arms and let me kiss her multiple times- we had this tearful reunion as if we'd been separated for decades!

I looked over and asked what she had found for herself. It was a box of false eyelashes. She said she needs it to first clean her eyes and then put these so her eyes can be beautiful like Aurora (the only Barbie like doll she has - courtesy her grandma. Th doll is super old and possibly mine.) I told her "But Gugu, your eyes are even more beautiful than Aurora. They are the most beautiful eyes ever! They are more beautiful than anyone else. Did you not know that at all?! You're the most beautiful person in the whole world, Gugu!!" She didn't say anything but kept listening. I could see her heart swelling as she absorbed what I had just said. And quietly said , "Ok, then I don't need this anymore. Don't need this at all..". I agreed we can leave this one.

She's the most perfect, most amazing little girl!
