I am in love. Her name is Kajol, and she giggled for me for the first time today.
I was sitting with her in my arms and feeding her this afternoon, when one of the masys came up and began to imitate the way that Kajol chews. She started to talk to Kajol in either hindi or bengali (I still can't tell which is which). I don't know WHAT she said, but when she was finished, Kajol gets this huge smile on her face. Now, I was pretty excited about this because I've only ever seen her smile once before. The masy talked to her a bit more and her smile grows wider and she giggle-squeals in that way that young kids do. I am ecstatic. The masy walks away, but Kajol does not stop smiling. We sit there together for another minute or so, both giggling and smiling as if the funniest thing in the world just happened. Eventually, I had to go back to feeding her, so we worked on that for a while. Still, although she's not a big fan of feeding time, that big smile of hers continued to break out between bites for another ten minutes.
I'm sure you all have heard the saying about loving someone so much it hurts.
I know exactly how that feels now.
