I'm pretty sure I am the luckiest girl alive...you know why? A year and half ago I had Myles who has changed my life in so many ways that I can't even count them all. I was just sitting and making a list in my head of all of the wonderful things about my life...and you know when you sit down to write them all out they just kinda fly away.
-I haven't had a minute alone, not even in the bathroom, in I don't even know how long. If I am in the bathroom alone that means that there is a little boy standing outside the door saying, "Mommy" with his hands under the door.
-I don't typically get to work on photography until Myles goes to bed at night...but I am home with him every day and it is a dream come true.
-Probably haven't had a whole week where I have slept through the night in well over two years...but you know you can actually kinda get used to that.Coffee helps!
-I have learned more about myself than in the 30 years I had all to my self before Myles. I have also learned a lot about the things that my parents did for me. Amazing how much time and energy they put out raising me and my sisters. Being a parent is true love.
-I fall more and more in love with my husband everyday watching him dive onto the bed to cuddle with Myles.
-I am so lucky to have a kid with a great sense of humor. How does a one and half year old know to do some of these things? Like today, I was trying to show off all the words he can say, so what does he do? He decides "Hat" is the word to say, I say, "say Myles" and he says "Hat". "Say Mommy" - "Hat", "say camera" - "hat" and then bursts out laughing. I swear we did that for 15 minutes and if I stopped I hear "hat" coming from the back seat.
-We read a lot and I have read
Road Work and
Little Blue Truck so often I don't even have to read them anymore, I know parts of them by heart.
-We watch
Curious George,
Caillou and
Shawn the Sheep and it is so cute hearing all of these shows being said by name by a little boy who says the names between gibberish.
Like I said, I had a whole list of things that I was thinking about writing down but I just can't think of everything now. I hope that this glimpse into my life was kinda interesting. Sometimes I forget to let other people in on what is going on all around me and just focus on all the photo stuff on here cause it is about the only time I get to talk about photography...anyhow rambling.
Myles and I heading out on a photo adventure.
