Yesterday, June, Robyn, and Ivory were gone. The younger two were sleeping and I was just chillin. (And by chillin, I mean I was hunkered down with my tissues cursing my allergies.)
Daisy woke up shortly thereafter and it was such a nice day outside, I thought I should put her in her swimsuit and turn the sprinkler on. I got her all dressed, but she was still only half awake. I plunked her down in front of the sprinkler and she stood there for ten minutes, not doing anything.
Eventually, she took a step or two forward and tested the water with her fingers.
Next came a foot.
It was so fun to watch her slowly explore. It is not often that I have time with just one of my children and I enjoy every minute I get. (Okay, most of the minutes, because I would be lying if I said I love the 4 am feedings.)
Daisy just gazed and watched, pointing out birds when she saw them.
She played in the house for a bit
and we ended with a popsicle. What a perfect moment.
I love one on one time...I love falling in love with their personalities each and every time. What a sweet girl.
ReplyDeleteLooking at these cute pictures of Daisy makes me realize that you really need to update her picture for the right-hand side of your blog. She is so much older now! I'm glad you have fun with your kids.
ReplyDeletesarah beth has that same swimsuit! adorable!
ReplyDeleteI am always amazed at how calm they act when they are by themselves. It is such a sweet moment to have one alone. Gorgeous pics too.
ReplyDeleteI love her little knobby pigtails. And I so hear you on the one-on-one time. Just today I gazed at my little Kennedy and wondered where the time had gone. "I love you," I told her, and she gave me this huge hug. I very nearly choked up.
ReplyDeleteThat is a darling swimsuit. If it would stop raining up here we might be able to break out the sprinklers too. I know my girls would be jealous of these pictures.
Fun! I miss the days of running through the sprinklers. I think if I did that now, I'd just get funny looks from the neighbors. That Popsicle picture is adorable.
