ayla’s 2nd birthday
Alya’s party was a BBQ at her house with Chloe, Poppy and a few of her other friends.
Whitnie’s Mum snapped this photo of us and developed it with her roll. It’s a classic shot because Poppy is having a big tantrum at being asked to leave the shower after having a spa with her friends and putting her clothes on. As you can see, it was an action shot and my face is the typical “I will remain calm and in control” while a 2 year old is using every diversionary tactic to avoid having her nappy put on. All of this, mind you, as we are guests at a party! Less than 5 minutes later she is happy again – although her meltdown can be partly attributed to her tiredness at such a fun day. She was asleep in the car minutes after leaving the party.
Motherhood is about raising - and celebrating - the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that she is exactly the person she is supposed to be. And that, if you're lucky, she just might be the teacher who turns you into the person you are supposed to be.
