“If you never did you should. These things are fun and fun is good”

~ Dr. Seuss

Let us never forget what it is like to experience something for the very first time.  The excitement, curiosity and divine sense of amazement as discovery ensues, washing over our senses and exposing them to new found wonders.  Let us never forget what it is like to laugh for no reason, it is contagious and not crazy…  Let us never forget what it feels like as the warm summer breeze caresses our face and blows silky strands of baby hairs…  Let us never forget what it feels like to experience all the “firsts” that life has to offer…

This is Dris at 9 months, I met him 9 months ago.  His mom contacted me (Thank you Stephanie and Tom) after being referred to me and I remember the email distinctly because she said, “you just have to meet my baby doll Dris!”  He was a  baby doll!  Gorgeous bright brown eyes and an infectious laugh that could warm any heart!  I love being able to document the growth in my clients.  Some from the womb and beyond!  Today I get to visit with Dris again.  He is 18 months old now.  Mom says he’s not a baby doll anymore but a little rock star and of course I’m greeted by his smiling cherub face and beautiful curly locks of hair and yes, he is a baby rock star.

You make me smile Dris!!!  I am so honored that I was there to play and delight in your discoveries as you walk through the fields and laughed at the dandelions for the first time.  Wind blowing your lovely locks, pulling and eating weeds (sorry Mom, I promise the weeds won’t hurt him.)  I want to laugh and spin and walk with you and bottle the wonder that I saw in your eyes today…  We could all use a little child like abandon every now and again!!!
