The other day at my sister Joan’s home, as we were all getting ready to head out, Joan took out her laptop and set it up on Baby Einstein or something like that to keep Lilith entertained until we were ready.

As I watched her, I felt this assurance that she and I would become really good buddies over time.

First of all, she’s pretty comical. I mean, of course she doesn’t speak yet, and hasn’t told her first joke… but I can just tell. Look at her expression. She’s going to be funny. And I love funny.

Look how enthralled she is with the laptop. I like how she is realizing at a very young age…

A girl has needs!

I think Lilith’s logging on to Facebook here … she obviously wants to just check in and catch up with her Auntie Brenda. Oh wait, I’m sitting right next to her. Well, she’s probably sending me a message of love for when I get back home.

But there’s something else that binds us together forever. It’s not blood. It’s not humour.

It’s not even the laptop.

It’s the belly!

Yep, I just know Lily and I are going to get along great.
