Hi, Aida. Meet self.

Yesterday morning, I found Aida standing in front of our standing mirror looking at herself with a happy expression of both pride and amusement.

"Hi, Aida," my reflection said to her reflection. She smiled and bobbed her head like she does, then made some of her unintelligible noises.

It was the first time I've seen her really look at herself in a way that reveals she knows, "That's me! I like me! Hi Aida."

DaaaDaaa! Outsuh! Ot!
