Kids don't get the concept of "too much of a good thing" really well.
Ask Jared at his daycare's Christmas party last year... he ate so much candy and cake and cookies and chocolate, that halfway through his class rendtion of "Jingle Bells", he had to leave the line to go and throw up. (sidenote: do all things that are bad for you start with the letter c??)
But after a quick cuddle in Daddy's arms, he sat up, looked at the snack table, and asked, "Can I have a cupcake, Daddy?" (see, another "c"!)
So it came as no surprise when I snapped this pic of Jared at the chocolate fountain, chocolate moustache already well-established ... basically "double dipping" the already chocolate glazed Timbit in the fountain.
Too much? Never!
I'm like that when it comes to taking pictures of my kids. Never too many shots of my little angels (or demons, depends on the hour). And I've decided to embrace my little addiction with a vigour similar to my little man's chocolate drive.
As much as I would like to carry on blogging with well-composed, well-framed photographs of landscapes and interesting architecture, time and again my lens is drawn down to the little ones, to their wide eyes and even wider smiles.
But I rest assured in the knowledge that in 20 years from now, the landscapes and architecture will still be there, but my kids chocolate moustaches need to be captured today.
Beautiful Rochelle - the photo and the writing. You have a gift of capturing the moments that go by so quickly, that we take for granted because we're living them, but that we quickly forget in our crazy lives. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeletegreat shot Rochelle, so Jared too :)
ReplyDeleteI was watching Sophia's ballet lesson this morning thinking the same, what a beautiful moment that I will keep with me forever. Next time I'll take my camera!
