Growing

This week has been like a tornado.  Everything happening all at once.  And in between the madness, I’ve been ‘spring cleaning’ and sorting through all of Sophia’s clothes, trying to sell those she’s outgrown to make way for the new.  And as I looked at each piece, I could remember what she looked like when she wore it.  Then like a flash, the fast-forward to today where I have my 3 year old girl standing before me.  It’s hard to let go and yet, I’m so excited for the now.  And speaking of now, and growing, I have a new camera!  With only a few minutes to spare today, I had my almost-always willing model pose for me while I played around.  I love that she was still wearing her plaits from preschool.  Plaits are her new obsession, and she is determined to grow the longest plait ever!  We’ve been talking of grown ups and growing all week.  And each day has reflected a kind of evolution.  Sometimes, it’s nice to be able to take a photo, and make it all stop.  For a delicious second.  And take a breath.  M x
