Through My Daughter’s Eyes

Seeing myself through my daughter’s eyes.

It’s telling*, it’s poignant, it’s beautiful, and  it’s a piece of paper that I’ll treasure forever.

Thank you to all the teachers who take the time to do projects like this with your students.

for mother's day

*my eyes are blue-ish green

A Moment

She’s my little girl.

My kindergartner.

It’s only been a blink, a mere 6 years of flashing blue eyes and heart capturing giggles.

Her pink freckled cheeks still clinging to the softness of childhood.

Her blue eyes that still light up when Daddy walks in.

Balancing on the precipice.

She’s still my little girl.

And yet, there are moments…

Moments that stop my heart and rip the breath from my lungs.

Moments where I’m caught off guard and I catch glimpses of the woman she will become.

a moment

It’s those moments that bring me the most joy and the most pain.

Milestones

Princess has had a big few weeks milestone-wise that is. She lost her second tooth, started reading chapter books and while at Mr. Lady’s house for Easter, she got on a BIG BMX bike belonging to 3of3 and took off.

No training wheels.

I’m not sure who had more fun or got more exercise.. Princess or Daddy ;-)
