This is her post for this week, where you link up if you want to participate.
This is week 1 of the linky and I am going to TRY and join in every week, as there are linkies I LOVE and ADORE and yet I am always so fickle, so VERY inconsistent. Let's try and make this one I do every week.
It didn't take me long to decide which photo to include.
It is this one from yesterday:
We have just got on the train, it's yesterday and we are on the way to Lollibop, but out of 211 photos THIS one is the MOST ordinary. Or is it?!?!?!?
I have picked it for so many reasons as follows:
- It is the first time I have seen for definite that my toddler is now a BOY!
- Look at the light Vs dark. The sun streaming in and highlighting his foot.
- Look at the position of his left mellow hand. I taught yoga for 38 of the weeks he was in the womb. I think it has stayed with him. He has the ability to be meditative, despite usually being a full on loon, with too much energy!
- He's gone into a world of his own. But I captured it. It's special. It shows the essence of my son. My still, thoughtful, meditative son. Comfortable and at ease, knowing he is safe with Mummy and Daddy, on a train he often travels on. Comfortable that although we are going somewhere new, he trusts me that we'll have fun.
- Wearing a shirt that fit him last Summer too.
- It's the first day in weeks that it's been windy and cool, so he has a long sleeved shirt underneath.
- The sandals haven't been worn in a few days for the same reason.
- The plaster tells a tale of a scraped knee as he went downhill on his new balance bike when we spent the day in Hampstead Heath last Saturday when he'd only had it about 5-6 days. Silly Mummy for taking her eye off the ball and letting him.
- He's MUCH browner than he is in Winter but then we have FULLY enjoyed the heatwave and had our paddling pool out everyday that it was hot.
- His hair is oiled up with coconut oil and for the 1st time in ages is free of tangles. Mummy trimmed the dead ends out too.
- He's looking handsome and showing some signs of the man he will one day become.
I love you Aaron.
