36/52 – Her & Him (Labor Day Edition)

A portrait of my son, once a week, every week, in 2015.

Little Man : You are so strong my darling, you want to be where the big people are. We went on a hike this week-end, it wasn’t an easy one : Several kilometers of hills, branches, tree roots and foot bridges. Not only did you conquer them all, but we took several “side trips” down to the river bed for you to walk barefoot on the stones and play in the water. Sometimes, we almost forget you’ve just turned 2 years old this passed July. But you remind us in your own way that although you choose to push yourself most days, sometimes, you just need to be our baby.  ❤

Little Miss : What a change in you this week my love, such joy. I know you have loved your time at home with us, but you are a social butterfly and now, you are thriving again. School seems to be everything you had hoped for. You have so many stories to tell us when you get home. But there is still a little part of you that aches for home I think. It is in the way you run home at night, in the way you told me you miss our flowers during the day. You are growing up now, realizing that sometimes, we have to make choices. But know that if ever you decide you miss our flowers too much, we will always be there to make things right and bring you home. But for now, enjoy your independence my sweet girl. ❤
