Project 52

This week you and Stella have really formed a bond.

Why I didn't make you start feeding her sooner is a mystery to me.

She has even started to really truly snuggle with you.

You make each other so happy,

and me so proud.

Project 52

Project 52

Your curiosity and desire to explore our new town makes me so proud!

Never lose your wanderlust!

Project 52

You have no fear and that scares the shit out of me!

Project 52

This has been your daily assumed position during this crazy summer heat.

Project 52

Teach your children young to value the things that you yourself value.

The hubs and I have a passion for bringing "treasures" back to life.

I am so crazy excited that the you ran inside to grab your

goggles and a sheet of sand paper, and rushed

right back out to get your DIY on with me!  

Project 52

There are days when I am not sure how you became so perfect.

Then there are days where I am not sure where exactly where I went wrong.

Some how today, you managed to hit both ends of that spectrum.

I never knew that a temper tantrum could look like that.

Or that you had that much aggression built up inside of you.

But we made it through.

One day you will believe me that you still need a nap sometimes.

One day I will learn that needing MY MOM is what I still need sometimes.

Project 52

15.  I love how much you want to be like your Daddy.

You two inspire each other and me more than you will ever know.

Project 52

So this day has finally come! 

You are so independent and exceptionally smart.

But when it came to taking care of business...

Well, let's just say that I officially don't have to come

"wipe your butt hole" anymore!

Wipe your own butt hole!

Project 52

I love that you still love me more than our new Jeep....although I know it's close.

Project 52

Watching your brain work blows my mind!

Project 52

I am not sure what it is about you two.

All day I have to repeatedly tell you two to separate.

I have to break up growling matches,

and try and prevent nips on the hand and wads of fur being removed.

I can see it in her eyes that you driver her crazy 

constantly chasing her around.

I am sure that it drives you crazy that she just won't let you

keep her in a choke hold.

Either way,

there is a definite air of frustration between you two.

But then it's it bath time,

and she won't leave you side.

There is a tiny sense of protection mixed with a sheer love for water

that I am sure ignites her desire to be half way in the tub.

But I'll be damned that if in those 20-30 minutest that you are soaking

in your own filth,

she is your very best friend and you are hers.

Project 52

You are even crazy when you sleep!

Look at this tangled mess of blankets and sheets.

Either way, I love you my wild little man.

p.s. Clean your room when you wake up!

Project 52

You can't pass up a good hop, skip, and a jump.

Project 52

Watching you stretch with your Daddy seams like the perfect ending to a crazy fun weekend.

Project 52

Watching you two 

splash and squeal with joy

brings so much sunshine to a rainy day.

Project 52

How you manage to eat balanced like this blows my mind.

Project 52

You have always marched to your own beat.

I love how you are now learning about rhythm.

Project 52

I love watching your brain work.

You love to take things apart to see how they work, 

and you always put them right back together.
