Flying Her Spaceship: #MySundayPhoto

The small playground in our neighborhood has a little wooden playset for kids to climb and slide on. Using our imagination, we pretend it’s our spaceship and make frequent trips to the moon and sometimes a random planet from Star Wars.

It’s not a sturdy structure, so I can easily shake our vessel during takeoff as we experience turbulence (from comet fields, obviously). Luckily, the cutest pilot I know keeps it under control and gets us through every time.

Don’t worry, I caught this shot on my phone before takeoff. She promised to wait for me to climb aboard, but only for a minute. We had places to go and things to see, so there’s no time for messing around with pictures!

I’m just happy I got this pic before the 105+ degree heat made my phone shut down. Probably for good reason, I need to focus on living in the moment more anyway. No matter how hot it gets, it always feels cool to play with our beautiful girl.

Family Selfie on the Playground: #MySundayPhoto

Climbing the wall at our tiny neighborhood playground is the latest feat of our growing toddler. Earlier this week I asked if she wanted to try, and she surprisingly jumped right to it.

As with most things related to a growing tot, it’s bittersweet to see. I love seeing her accomplish new things, but that means she’s *gasp* getting older and *deeper gasp* more independent! Ahhhh, parenting is tough in so many ways.

But it’s also rewarding and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Especially when we can spend some family time together. Watching her climb the wall and smile as she reaches the top is nothing but satisfying. Then topping it off with a family selfie to end a wonderful day.

Even in the Texas heat, we’re doing our best to keep active outside. Sometimes it can’t happen, but that’s why we have our living room construction site/play area.

Post Nap Time Selfie for the Win: #MySundayPhoto

Nap time is becoming less and less about napping, and more about playing in her room for an hour while Daddy gets a little bit of quiet time. Well, besides listening to her read books and sing the theme songs to Bob the Builder or Super Why as if she were trying to be heard over the noise at a live concert.

Lucky for her, she’s the cutest little girl I know and love. She usually tires enough to get a short nap on her big girl Naturepedic bed before it’s time to wake up. You never know what kind of mood she’ll be in, but I happened to catch her in a good one the other day which called for a daddy-daughter selfie.

Sometimes you just have to try something new to get your kid to smile when they first wake up. Sticking a phone in their face to take a picture probably isn’t the best choice, but laying next to them to take a picture together makes all the difference. We’ll see how long that lasts…..
