This post isn’t going to have a lot of “meat” in it. In fact, I think this one if mostly for me, but if you find yourself reading this, then welcome to my little memory.
I have been “trying” to journal more, unsuccessfully. There are SO many things about this time in our lives I want to remember and I am afraid I am going to forget. I know we are in those days that moms with older kids wished they had back. I know we are in the “good ole days” and I am trying to soak it all in as much as I can. Which is the only reason I am blogging this.
Eloise and I had hit a little rough patch. She was pushing buttons and really emotional. ( You know, being a normal 2 years old.) I was having some hormonal issues and my patience was NOT where it was supposed to be. ( I mean, this is something I constantly work hard on daily) But I had a moment where I needed to scout out a location for a shoot and Matthew was working from home. Hatsy was down for a nap so I decided to take Eloise with me. Just a little one on one time, since it hadn’t been that way in a while.
The location I was scouting was a metro park, so just big open paths that she could run around on. It had rained the days before so we got a bit muddy. I just know we both needed it after a long, cold winter in.
I just want to remember how free this girl is. She’s so happy when she can just be. I want to remember how excited she gets about every little thing. I am talking every little rock is exciting, little sticks, bugs. I can’t even explain how excited she was when we heard a bunch of frogs croaking in the woods.
I let her jump and run and pick up all the little things. She loved it.
And yes, I am aware that this was a totally normal activity to do, but man did we need this together.
Her profile is my favorite. 
So is this smile
“I shake my boooty” 
She is just the best.
