Life in 52 Project: Week 6

“One of your favorite things to do lately is switch up your wardrobe. A small stain, a smudge of jelly, a drop of water… they’re all wonderful opportunities and perfect excuses to change your outfit or try on new shoes. No speck goes unnoticed and everything is quickly made right after putting on a fresh pair of clothes and casually throwing a tulle skirt or flowly dress on top.
For a while I fought your desire to change so many times a day, (the laundry was becoming unreal) but you’ve mastered dressing yourself and are getting very good at putting your clothes back in your drawers… so model away my little fashionista.”

Week 3:

“Lexa baby, look how big you are. You really aren’t my baby anymore. This week you started preschool and you couldn’t be more excited. I was worried your shy disposition would get the best of you and make it hard for you to go to school, but you dove right into your new environment and loved every minute of it. You are my sweet, smart, playful girl with wild hair you love to twirl and whose penetrating eyes still give me chills and an itch to grab my camera. ”

Don't mind me as I quickly catch up with posting my weekly love letters. Every week for the entire year, I plan on taking and posting an image of my daily life. Often, they will be images capturing memories I want to remember, and sometimes, like this week, they will simply be descriptions of my week and the little thoughts that cross my mind.

Life in 52 Project | Week 2:

“This has been a week of embracing everything exactly as it is. Grandma is gone, routine is still non-existent, and we are taking things nice and slow. I sit nursing Addie, feeling exhausted and wondering what I have to show for the day, when I look over and notice the soft light on your face Alexa. You are flipping the pages of your book so tenderly, patiently waiting while I nurse baby sis. No more than 40 minutes ago you were having an inconsolable tantrum and wanted nothing to do with me, but now here you are. Sweetly reading me stories. I embrace you and you, forgiving as always, embrace me back. I pull out my camera and we all huddle in close because this week and every week this year, all I really want is to breathe you in. You my sweet girls and this challenging yet wonderful role I strive to measure up to as your mother.”
