John sent me the following email last week:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amaya: Daddy, Daddy first we have to play games, then we eat. First we have to play games. Daddy, first we have to play games.
Me: ... (Not really paying attention)
Amaya: Daddy! Freeze! Ok, here's the deal. First we play games, then we can eat.
We made pancakes and bacon for lunch and after telling her she had to wait to eat the bacon, I caught her trying to sneak one.
Amaya: I was just checking.
Amaya: I have an owie on my knee Daddy. I need a band-aid.
Me: No hay sangre, no necesitas un band-aid. (translation: There's no blood, you don't need a band-aid)
Amaya: There is sangre (blood) inside my knee Daddy, so I need a band-aid.

Do I even need to say how happy it made me? This little girl makes me so happy. She may have grown in my belly, but she is absolutely her own person.
Also makes me happy: this picture.

| Cousins at the Children's Museum |
And this one.
And this one, last one, I promise.
I love that Amaya loves her cousins. I also love that Carmen is wearing Amaya's clothes, it just seems cousin-y in the best way.
