“Mommy and Me” Monday

Krystyn had a fantastic idea: INTENTIONALLY take pictures of yourself with your kids. On purpose. Intentionally. Every week. And share them.

Y’all know how I feel about doing things intentionally, right? You should. I’m pro-intentional, as a rule. I’m joining in on Krystyn’s “Mommy and Me” Mondays because I think it’s a good idea….and I like to be intentional. Intentionally.

Basically, if you want to participate, you head over to her blog and link up on Monday’s post. Write a post including a picture of yourself with your wee ones (or your wee furbabies, if necessary) and a little anecdote about the wee one. It doesn’t have to pertain to the picture you’re including. Easy enough.

Here we go. This week’s picture:

And this week’s anecdote:

It actually does relate to the picture. Leah is currently o.b.s.e.s.s.e.d. with anything that flies. She first noticed flying objects the other day when there was a pretty serious car accident right outside our neighborhood and a helicopter came to airlift the victim to the hospital. She was enthralled by the thing as it hovered overhead and finally zoomed off. Since then, we’ve noticed an increase in sightings: airplanes, helicopters, butterflies, birds….you name it. In this particular shot, Leah was more interested in the hawk circling overhead than in looking at the camera. I wanted the picture, though, so I tried again:

That’ll have to do. (She’s looking at the cat, that time.)
