.project 52. week. 26. independence

what a great theme…independence!  as soon as i saw our theme for this week i thought perfect timing to start really letting my son know the true meaning of this word, when it comes to “doing some things for ourselves”!  as an only child, you can have many things work in your favor, one in which “mom” does just about everything for you (secretly, i would do this for the rest of his life ;) ) but i know it will only benefit him to start becoming more independent and doing things on his own.  so on this particular day, i thought what a great time to start when he asked for lunch……..

yea, that last picture is him being pretty impressed with his work and taking it upon himself  to “frame” his creation! HA!

now lets continue with our 52 circle with my friend misty setzler, lubbock, texas photographer and she what she has for us this week.

xoxo

    oh, so sweet! I agree, it’s almost bitter-sweet when they start doing so many things on their own and they don’t need you as much!

    OMG… how handsome is he?? These are gorgeous, Jobrina.. and wow.. making me think that this will be Felix soon enough!! Love that processing chicky!! x

  3. Oh my gosh I SO hear you on this. My daughter was our only for 4 years so I did everything for her. I had to teach her independence a little later than I probably should have, but honestly it was so much easier just to do it! Such cute pictures and I adore your processing, it’s perfect!

    This is exactly one of those things that makes me realize how independent my oldest is becoming as well. It’s those small, everyday moments. These are great!!
