The fun of being a child

I run around all day cleaning up, controlling sibling rivalries, wiping up spills, changing diapers, making meals, kissing boo-boos, giving reminders about manners, homeschooling and finally passing out at night. And here are the photos that remind me that I just need to take a minute longer and enjoy the moment.

The joys of being a child...


Going back to sleep in mom's bed


Being a Ballarina

And Being a Princess Too


Enjoying your new exercise trampoline


Decorating for Dad's homecoming

Buying sparkly pink tennis shoes because you think Hannah Montana would like them


Having fun with your food


Your first bikini


If being a princess and a ballarina is not enough, you can also be a rockstar


Getting the most of your potato salad.
Now that the belly is full, ahhhh, the facial feels great and is so relaxing
(Hmmm, why didn't mom think of that one?)


Giving the dog a bath (something is wrong with this?)


And, my personal favorite goes to......

Dressing however the heck you wish! (And SERIOUSLY just this week I wondered why the occupational therapist wanted to teach Autumn to dress. Maybe she was right after all....or not!)
