Day 2: Mother Daughter
November 2nd, 2012
To honor my sweet little girl, who turned 18 months today, I did a piece of Mother - Daughter art today, a simple pencil drawing.
The first year was a challenging one with A, mainly due to lack of sleep, but I really love this age she's at now. It's still kind of exhausting, but it's so much more fun for both of us. I delight in how quickly she learns (a little sponge!), her love of alphabet letters, her love of people, her bright smile, her silliness, her endless energy, her intensity, her sweetness. I could go on and on. She's a little sparkler, this one.
Here's my sweet girl, twirling in her tutu.

Leah, you have captured that nurturing love of a mother and her connection to her child.

Oh, Leah – I love your drawing. Oh, how I wish I had more of that when my girls were little. I remember the days you are in: the lack of sleep, the feeling of grouchiness, the worry about not being overjoyed 24/7…. you are doing a marvelous job of being present with what you are feeling and loving your little one… who is so sweet in that TuTu!!
Thinking of you and grateful for Art Every Day Month ALWAYS!
