I love mornings with this wee one. I tried to capture a photo every morning this week; what we do, how we play. It was quiet, not many messages or errands to run so we were home birds.
I think I appreciate them so much because I know they’ll soon draw to an end.

They are everything that the afternoons are not…simple and calm.
We draw, do jigsaws, bake, take baths, play outdoors.
I savour these with her, probably more than I did with the other two because I know what’s ahead.
The busyness that life becomes when part of a school system. Much as I try to protect them from it, it seeps in.
I remember hearing we must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from our lives.
We do this…she and I.
Our mornings.
I need to fight for it more in our afternoons.
My oldest started Kindergarten this year and it really does make a difference no matter how hard you try to slow down and keep them with you. She is very active in different activities and is already wanting to do things because they are "cool." She is not a baby anymore and I cling to her brothers because I know that it will happen to them too. I try to have little conversations with her to keep her grounded in US not THEM.
I know…it passes too quickly!! We have to enjoy them!
