Project 52; Week 26. Wiggle.
Half way through another year.
Is it possible to slow time down?
I was looking through some photos from just last summer and started getting teary eyed.
You were so little compared to now.
Your beautiful face just looks so grown up lately.
Maybe because you are. You’re no longer a baby, and haven’t been for almost 6 months.
I just can’t get over how fast children change.
We’ve had countless play dates lately and every time, I see the benefit of playing with other children.
Sometimes it’s still hard to share, but the laughing, giggling, and bright eyed looks are worth the sometimes hard parts.
I can see little friendships blossoming.
I sometimes wonder if you’ll be friends thru elementary, middle school, and maybe even high school.
I know at some point you’ll make friends with kids that I don’t know.
That honestly scares me a little.
I secretly like picking your friends for you right now.
Play dates after all, are for the moms just as much as the kids.
Yesterday, there was a song your push train plays that you couldn’t get enough of.
You played it over and over and over and over…
Every time the song started, your little hips started wiggling, your hands clapped, and every now and then you’d stomp your foot.
The biggest grin of satisfaction and pure joy filled your face.
Dance parties are now a regular.
In the isles of Target, naked before bed, or spur of the moment in the kitchen.
Doesn’t matter, as long as there is music, there’s a reason to celebrate.
Even when my head is somewhere else, all it takes is a gentle nudge and you have me grinning ear to ear.
You have a special gift my girl, the gift of living wholehearted.
Never loose that gift.
xoxo – You Mama
