Best Shot Monday:Life is looking pretty Happy!

Great questions, and this picture answers both those questions.

1. I am reminded that my, 4 in July year old, is turning into a preschooler. Yes, I said it preschooler. He won't say he is 3, or even 3 1/2 or 3 3/4, no he is 4 in July.
2. Life is looking pretty happy. I asked him to draw me a face and he asked, "happy or sad?". I of course picked happy. Then I talked him through the other body parts but never once did I touch the pen. He drew this all himself and I had to show his father and hung it on the fridge.

I had that Mom moment when your child reaches a milestone right before your eyes. I know drawing a person is some sort of milestone, but for me this picture is more so a piece of him at the age of "4 in July" I can hold onto forever.

  5. Its amazing what comes out of a "4 in July's" little mind. The picture reminds me of the ones Ella draws of me and my big baby belly.

  6. Wow! That is impressive. My 4 in June little boy is always surprising me (when he's not making me crazy..LOL). Taking photos of their artwork is such a great way to preserve such a sweet memory.

  7. Awww...that picture and your story is so sweet. They do change before our very eyes. I can hardly believe that Anya will turn 5 next week. It goes by so fast!

  8. I am loving this project, and can totally identify with being a working mom and chasing around a rough and tumble toddler the rest of the time!

    I am so thankful for this creative outlet, and for the chance to connect with other women through photography.

    I just recently discovered this Team-Up Thursday, but my girlfriend and I have another photo project of sorts happening elsewhere in the blogosphere. If you're interested:
