I love you, too

Category: At Home

Once the spare room became Lucie's bedroom, I no longer had a place to dump all the projects I was working on. So now my bedroom is the staging area for laundry that needs to be folded, presents that need to be wrapped, and objects that need to be fixed.

At the moment, there is a large mirrored shadow box leaning against the wall that needs a chain attached. It's currently the only mirror in the house that Lucie can see herself in without standing on a chair. When she gets dressed, she runs to my room to check herself out.

One evening I observed Lucie talking to herself in the mirror. Divided into several sections, she kissed her image on one side and said, "I love you." Then she kissed her reflection on the other side and said, "I love you, too."

I'm not sure why she was giving the two Lucies kisses, but it was a delightful moment I cherish.
