"Look baby, it's you," I giggle at that; mommas so silly. "I’m not a star momma.” I said to her. She smiled. She has the most beautiful smile. I love momma's smile. “Yes you are baby girl you my little star!” Then dadda came and picked me up from behind. “My little star too,” he said. I giggled again, “Em I a pretty star?” Momma took me from dadda, “Lyra you are the most star I’ve ever seen.” I smile for momma, nice and big so she can see.
“Here look, I’ll show you.” Momma said, “All you need to do is follow the tip of my finger. Can you do that baby?” “I can do that momma!” With that she starts to point at the sky. “Do you see that big bright star, baby?” Momma asked. “They're all big and bright,” I said. Then dadda stepped up behind us, “Baby why don’t you put your face right next to mommas so you see what she does.” He said that well gently moving my head so my check touched mommas.
“Okay ready Lyra?” Momma asked. I nodded my head excitedly. “Your starts here with this one at the very top. Then you move down to the left for your second and third stars.” She said that well she was moving her finger, so the tip pointed right at the one she was talking about. “Then you go down really far to your fourth, and turn right for your final star, before going back up to the second star. It makes kind of a squashed rectangle with a line at the top.”
“I see it, but… momma I don’t think very pretty.” After I said that momma turned so we were face to face. “Well I think it's the most beautiful constellation I have ever seen.” She said. “Momma what a constellation?” I asked her, she said “It’s a group of stars in all different shapes and sizes. And you are named after the most beautiful one Lyra.”
That makes me smile, mommas so beautiful that she must know when somethings beautiful. That means if momma thinks I em, then I’m beautiful! Then dadda says, “You're both the most beautiful,” and gives me a big kiss on the check and momma a kiss on the lips. “GROSE!” I yelled at them, and dadda pulled away laughing.
I started to yawh so dadda said it's time for bed.
