A toddler’s sweet reaction to seeing her reflection will melt your heart. Some moments in life are filled with pure wonder and joy—especially when raising little ones. One of those special moments happens when a tiny girl in Minnie Mouse pajamas sees herself in the mirror for the first time.
She doesn’t know she’s being recorded. She climbs up on a bench to get a better look. Then she pauses and stares into the mirror, making little sounds at the smiling face looking back at her. At first, she looks confused—but also excited. Who is that other little girl?
She leans in closer and makes more sounds, trying to figure it out. Then something amazing happens. A big smile spreads across her face, and she lets out the cutest giggles. It’s like she suddenly realizes, “That’s me!”
Her joy is contagious as she keeps watching herself. She looks at her teeth, bounces happily, and puts her hands on the wall. She babbles and smiles nonstop. You can tell she’s having the best time with her own reflection.
The look in her eyes is a reminder of how beautiful life’s little moments can be. I loved seeing her wonder and joy—did you? Watching her discover herself in such a fun, innocent way will make anyone smile.
Maybe we grown-ups can learn something from her. Instead of frowning at our gray hairs or wrinkles, we can look in the mirror and smile, too.
If you need a little happiness today, take a minute to watch this adorable video of a toddler meeting her mirror self. It’s sure to brighten your day.
