My little one was born in the year of the rabbit.  So now every time I see a bunny I think of her.  I was going in the kitchen to make dinner when I saw this and immediately took a picture of it.  Something about it was so unexpectedly sweet.  She’d brought it home from school and had taped it on the counter right where I would see it but it was at her eye level.  I went into her playroom and she was trying to hide a coy smile.  “Guess what?!” I exclaimed.  “What?” she said, now smiling broadly.  “I found a bunny rabbit in our kitchen!” I said as I widened my eyes.  She giggled, “I did that!  It’s for you Mama!”  “Well I LOVE it!” I told her as I gathered her up in my arms for a big hug.  “I colored it and I cut it by myself!” she said proudly.  “Thank you so much for letting me have it,” I told her while I savored the feel of her arms around my neck.  “You’re welcome,” she said, suddenly shy.  The 19th century writer George Sand wrote, “There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.”  I learned something fascinating while looking up the citation for this quote that came to mind.  I discovered that George Sand was actually the pseudonym for the French novelist and memoirist Amantine-Lucile-Aurore Dupin.  She was equally known for a much publicized affair with the famous pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin.  I love the thrill of discovery!  Between my little one’s surprise and learning George Sand was really a woman it made for a great evening.  Of course the greatest joy of all is having my baby to love and knowing that some bunny loves me, too.
