We're TV-free but still like movies. While putting together a lasagna in the kitchen. Ivy and I watched Matilda on my laptop.
"Mom, does Matilda's dad love her?"
"Well, honey, I think he probably loves her, a little bit, but he's not a very nice person. And he doesn't know how special she is."
"You know how special I am!"
I sure do and if ever there was a defining moment that I felt like a good mom, it was then.
PS When you're moving it's not so weird to take pictures on furniture outdoors. (Ivy's crown hand-made by Erika aka Inspired Mama.)
Gawwwwwwwwww! Yes! LOVE that!
ReplyDeleteToo cuutteee! I love Ivy's sweet smile :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah the posing-on-funiture-before-moving thing is perfectly normal. ;)
LOVE love love this!
ReplyDeleteAwww!
ReplyDeleteps-I love Matilda!
Go you, Mama! So important for our kids to know how much they are loved :)
ReplyDeleteFor just a moment, I could see a teenage Ivy, dressed in her funky bohemian style, legs kicked up on the arm of the chair, happy and loving life. It's like you captured a future moment. She's just so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, confident child you're raising. Good job Mama!
ReplyDeleteOh she is just magical. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. My heart just squeezed happily.
ReplyDeleteI just love Ivy's style :)
