As some of you know, Ruby is having a (free!) photo shoot, probably this weekend. It will be outside.

So. Which dress? I can't decide.

Some Things Get Easier

Ruby, as you get older, some things get easier.

For example, when we're going somewhere, I can just open the door and let you out. You are very good at doing the steps by yourself. I only need to remind you "On your bum!" once, and then you're there, on your bum.

I probably don't even need to remind you. Pretty soon you'll be rolling your eyes at me about the whole "on your bum" thing.

I can't believe how much of a help it is that you can do this, though. So much of motherhood is schlepping. Thanks for carrying your weight. FINALLY and LITERALLY.

You think it's pretty cool, too.

Then, get this, you can even walk to the car by yourself. With me close by, of course.

These are some of the pros of toddlerhood. Cuteness pads the pro side, yes it does.
