{Almost} Wordess Wednesday: A Smile to Brighten My Day

Little Splendid dresses c/o Target

After a week of rain, the sun finally came out. I had a day off and we were itching to get outside and play. It was mid-60s outside so I combed my daughter's curly hair, dolled her up in her new pink and blue and grabbed my camera.

It used to be easy to capture her big grin. I used to be the center of her universe. Now when we're out of the house, she finds so many other things more interesting than me and my silly faces.

It's bittersweet to see her grow and discover. Time is going by much too fast.

Between grabbing mud out of her hands stretching towards her mouth (and sometimes stopping her a second too late) I captured a smile in my direction. And I fell in love all over again.
