This weekend Lady Kitty astounded us with the sweetest proclamation.

“I wuv you, Mama,” she said, quite out of the blue.

Lady Kitty had clearly been working up to this, and she looked absolutely chuffed with her success.

“I wuv you, Mama,” she said again. Then stood back to bask in the glory of what she knew would be a well received statement. She was not wrong. I was ecstatic. Soooo in love. Not even having the Duchess of Cambridge wear my navy Alessandra Rich polka dot dress to Wimbledon on Sunday felt better (and that was pretty exciting). Not even in the same league.

The love did not stop there.

“I wuv you, Bro Bro.”

“ I wuv you, Dada.”

“I wuv you, Mama,” she said it again and again. We were all over the moon! And she was too! She delighted in delighting us. Love is not a sum zero game, she knew.

We love you too, Lady Kitty! We do! We do! A most perfect day, I’m glad I spent it with you!
