I had the morning to work today. I wanted to finish up a few orders I had and get myself organized for the next week. I finished up these brother and sister dolls and this other little guy for Izzy. Izzy loves dinosaurs so I went and bought some transfer paper from Staples, got some clipart and made a transfer. So cute and easy. It’s a nice way to jazz up the boy dolls with something that they love, cars, trucks, dinosaurs. The girls get all the cute prints and sweet buttons, now there is a way for me to personalize the boy dolls too.
I spent the other part of my day enjoying the sunshine with my little men. I can feel autumns chill in the air, it’s come too soon. I was clicking away taking photos when a wave of emotion came over me- Ben is really growing up. I’m excited about this, I love the nonstop stories, questions and the fun we have together- but I realize too how quickly it’s going away. I used to really dislike it when people would say to me ‘ Enjoy this time, it goes to quickly’ and now I find myself saying the samething to my neighbour about her newborn girl. Every stage is wonderful and has its trials and tribulations, but four years old is just so sweet. I recently talked to a mom with teenagers who told me that this (the teen years) was her favorite stage. Being a parent never stops, it’s a journey. Oh squish!
‘Come on- you know you want to’ . John tempted me last night to watch the season premiere of America’s Next Top Model. I find my self cringing through the whole show, yet I cannot tear myself away Ha! Here I am trying to be a more aware person, present and grounded and yet I’m completely enthralled with a bunch of 19 year olds wanting to be models – the goal of their lives. I could go on about the morality of a show like this, but I won’t. It’s like bubble gum for your head.
Holy smokes, this blog post is just all over the place! Sorry about that!
