Am ma uls

Day after day, Alice continues to grow up despite my sometimes wishes. She has been saying "am ma uls" for the longest time. Tonight Laura corrected her and after a couple of tries she said "animals". She is always so proud when she is able to say things correctly. I congratulated her and clapped, but inside I was sad. My little girl grew up a little bit more. Again. We are closing the chapter where she said "animals" in the cute endearing way.

I guess this is being a parent: suffering from micro-heartbreaks for decades. *sigh*

She gets her fashion sense from me
