Aurelia’s NYC cousins gave her a board book of the Met ABCs–“A” for “apple,” “B” “boat” with works of art depicting the word. For the letter “K,” we see a photograph of Mary Cassatt’s “Mother’s Kiss.” Normally we get to that page, and I abruptly wrap my arms around her and squeal “KISSES” and smother her cheeks! But for the last week, when Ari’s turned to this page, she points to the woman and exuberantly exclaims “MA-MA!!!” I love this girl!
