Thanks to Cage Free Monkeys and her recent post, I’ve just discovered the i heart faces photo blog. I decided to enter their latest contest: feet.
There were many pics I considered because I thought they were pretty, or artistic, or cute. But then despite the everyday snapshot lameness, I ended up going with this one.
Hands and feet. My little girl and me. Posted to my blog almost 2 years ago, and so much has changed since then. In those days shoes were nothing more than an inconvenient frivolity; now she needs a range of footwear. Sneakers, flip flops, sandals, dress shoes. Rain wellies. And her little tootsies are growing out them as quickly as I acquire them.
These once tiny and pristine feet are now so active. Jumping, running, kicking balls, learning to pedal a trike. These bare feet slide across shiny linoleum, push their way into the gritty texture of beach sand and the squelch of wet garden dirt. And they dance through her days.
It makes me a bit nostalgic looking at pics from her first months. Then I start reflecting on this whole journey so far, how much has happened already and the wonderful kid she is now. And even so, she’s still only 2, and it amazes me to think of all that is yet to come.
