Two Year olds...

So I gave Stephen the new FLIP for our anniversary (for those like me who didn't know what this is- it is the tiniest little video camera ever that holds up to an hour of video). I love it, he loves it more and it is so fun to now have something so small and convenient to capture Lucy and some of her moments on film. We are still trying to figure this whole thing out but I thought I would put a "typical" clip on this post.

Often we get snagged into sharing only the pretty moments in our lives. But what about the other 96% of the time when things don't go like you had planned? Lucy was all dressed for school, had the raincoat on and was prancing around with her umbrella. So, of course, Stephen grabbed the FLIP....a quick peek at this short film will tell the rest of the story (love the arching of the back at end of video- does anyone else have a child that does this??).

It was a great reminder to me that I need to appreciate lucy for who she is and what she is right now. A little girl trying to figure things out....her vocabulary is getting better daily, but she is still 2 and I need to remember patience with her....and love her for just where she is in life!
