Project 52, Week 18; Running
Running, running, running.
It doesn’t take much to see where all this running is going.
Sure enough you had your first skinned knee this week.
Only a few tears and then back to running and exploring.
This week has been so much fun my little princess.
We’ve gone on an outing every morning, played till you were so exhausted you could hardly eat lunch before nodding off to sleep.
You’re begining to fight for a little independence.
Yesterday you decide you would dress yourself…
It didn’t take long before you gave up and asked for help, but I kinda love that you want to try.
I don’t mourn you getting older.
My heart just beams with pride to see you try new things and soak up the world around you.
It all just makes me try and stay as present as possible to enjoy this stage, and the next.
I want to be able to remember 30 years from now when you have a little one of your own.
Remember all your toddler things you do.
Like run with your arms straight back like a penguin (Your nickname is even Guin sometimes!)
Or how you snuggle into my chest when we read books.
These are the moments I’m holding onto.
xoxo – Your Mama
