I was really happy with this portrait of my youngest daughter. Technically it came out great with the flash bounced off the ceiling and nice catchlight in her eyes. But more importantly it really captures her personality, she's quite the cheeky monkey!
I asked Mari why we take baths in this world, while we don't even have to breathe. She said, "Because water's sexy!"
I had to agree. Enjoy your bath, babies.
Like most parents we divided the child care over the years and it happily became my responsibility to manage this little-guy's bathtime. I've been with him for nearly every bath/cleaning/dip-n-dunk since he was born.
During bathtime we talk about what he did that day and I always make a point to ask about his favorite part of the day. He'll typically say something about Pokemon or a book he read or watching a favorite show but tonight was different and he said, "planting pumpkin and squash seeds with momma."
Over the past several months he's been transitioning to showers--some of this is out of boredom but mostly because he is wanting more independence...he wants to be a Big Kid. It's understandable and I'm proud of him--he is, afterall, almost 10 years old.
But I can't help but wonder about the time when he’ll no longer need me around for tasks like this...when he will, after dinner, go upstairs and shower on his own not needing my help. I do want him to have more independence but, my god, I’m going to miss this time together--thinking about that makes my stomach hurt.
Time is flying by...
Because I've never done Monday Undies before.
