My Girl & Me

I like this photo of my girl and me. We spend time together just talking and it is so fun. She is very expressive, she likes to share all the details, and she really can get into her stories. Other times she is quiet and prefers to snuggle and observe. Both ways are fun depending on her mood, and I just cherish every second of our togetherness.

We are down to just one day of summer. Floating by like the gentle beach wind. She will be in fourth grade. Where has the time gone? Where are the moments she would gaze her big blue eyes at me with her wide cheesy grin from her white slated crib? Where are the moments she would say her cute little word "That?" while pointing to something. And the moments when little brother arrived and it was all about saying "No, no, no, no, Mommy, I do it."

Fourth grade. Taking more steps on her own away from mom, but still within arm's reach.

My Girl & Me = Happy.

Everyone so often says "they grow up so fast" and I have become bored with the cliche, but, they are sooo right? Where does the time go? It truly is amazing - and your pic is so sweet. Good luck to your girl in 4th grade. Is it the oldest at her school? If so, hope she enjoys being the big kid on campus.
