“Tom and I were sitting with Matilda the other day, and she was literally staring at us, and she touched both of our faces, and just gave us this innocent, just really joyful, ‘Hi’ smile,” Cuoco told PEOPLE.
“I mean, I could cry right now,” she continued. “We both looked at each other and we started tearing up. He goes, ‘Is this our life now, where we just cry at everything she does?’ "
