So it's been 10 weeks since the birth of our little chimp and during the first several weeks I often found that just looking at her little face brought me to tears. This, of course, was a hormone-induced reaction, but now, 10 weeks later, I find that sometimes, during moments of peace, her sweet little face moves me to tears still.
And she makes me laugh. She smiles now; not just from gas, but truly genuine smiles of joy. And she laughs too, often a full on gutsy laugh -- in her sleep no less! Of course, she also cries. But the sight of her pouty face is also a source of joy -- it's just so damned cute! My husband says that she looks just like me when she pouts, but really, when do I ever pout?!
Also, she loves sneezes. Other people's sneezes as well as her own. Apparently there are few things more amusing to her than a sneeze, except maybe the relief of passed gas. If only life could always be so simple!
I suppose we should try to take a lesson from this. Although there is often occasion to cry, a little sleep will generally restore our smiles and of course, there is no greater amusement than bodily functions, especially gas!
