when you're two and three....

your eyes are spectacularly blue
flowers tickle your nose
you can make silly faces just because
blowing bubbles is the hardest thing you have to do all day
your best friend gets to come over and play
you can scowl and nobody takes you seriously
hugs are tight enough to squish your head and you like it like that
and
a day running around in the backyard
barefoot
followed by chicken nuggets for dinner
makes for a perfect day
~
guess who's going to act like a two or three year old today

Can you imagine if someone had taken pictures like this of us when we were little???? What treasures they would be! These are wonderful pictures for these family to have!!!

OMG!!! Those girls are just gorgeous!! What fun to have a sister.
I should really hire you to take pics of my family before the oldest flies the coop. Then you'd have more gorgeous kids under your belt ;)

Great photos!

Caroline said...

What beautiful photos Beth! And I had chicken nuggets the other night for dinner :) And sometimes I act like a 3 year old :)

We can learn from young children about having fun. The pictures are so sweet.

Love it ! Except for the chicken nuggets for supper - take out sounds good. And a big glass of wine...lucky I can act 2 or 3 but can legally have the good stuff too.
Have a great weekend, Lovely Beth !

Perhaps I go mushy over little girls because I raised three sons...I am praying that I, at least, get a granddaughter when Laura and Alex have their first child. I loved these sweeet pictures.

What pretty curls and beautiful eyes and perfect little faces.

Jaime said...

I wish so much I could be a little kid again, just for a few days or so. Perhaps this is why I have become a child photographer as well! Instant access to childhood.

These images are so adorable..I LOVE the one with the tickling flower. What a face!
