1. Peanut is so BIG! And Butter is so toddler-y. Oh boy. I love these snippets of your life. Thanks you, you expert blogger, you.

   • Jen, you’re too kind. The egregious typo as first published is still worth those images of my days. The camera reminds me of the truth, not the difficult or the loud. ;-)

2. Small, sandy toes? Squirmy worms? Swinging with abandon? Perfection indeed.

   • Precisely what I was thinking, Stacia!

3. Oh, I love these pictures. That one of the earthworms … have rarely seen a better capturing of what todderhood is all about. Lovely, lovely. xox

   • Thanks, letmead! I kept trying to get him to show them off, bit he couldn’t open his hand without dancing around and reorganizing them…hencey hand on the right, briefly holding his hand still. ;-)

4. And it is.

   • Dana, it really is. Notice there are a few of the second. ;-)

5. ♥ times eleventy!!!!!

   • Cyn: Five-ty five!

6. Perfection indeed. Messy, exploring, curly headed perfect.

   • Kate, I love photos like these to remind me of the basic truth of that perfection. Thanks for noticing. ;-)

7. Lovin’ the worms. Those look juicy. And perfect ;)

   • Heather, I hadn’t thought of How to Eat Fried Worms until you said they looked juicy. What a throwback to my childhood!
     The small ones are sweeter. ;-)

     • Oh that book was great–and strange. I remeember its form being kind of unconventional. Glad you got the reference :)

       • Heather, great and strange is exactly how I remember it. Thank you for that.

8. Are you trying to kill me with those curls??? They’re scrumptious.

   • Melissa, you know the part that just kills me? They were a complete surprise. My husband shaves his head so I never made a connection that his whole family has curls. (I don’t look at people’s parts; I look *at* them, you know? I don’t know who’s fat or thin or blue-eyed; I know who says what and how they feel.)

     So I melt every time they dry off after bath and run screeching through the house with baby ringlets sproinging all over their heads. Just melt.

9. Beautiful photos – Perfection indeed.

   The first photo makes me want to head to the beach and squish my toes in sand. Alas, the weather here makes that a dream rather than a possibility.

   The worm photo rocks!

   • Melany, I’m not even a beach person, but anything they do is irresistible. Within reason. ;-)

10. Nothing quite like boys playing in the sand. Some of my all time favorite pictures too :)

11. Oh yes. This is how I picture perfection, too. Especially swing flying and worms! Actually, all of it. These photos remind me of camping, which we all adore.

    • Hi, Sarah! Yup…camping. Walking in creeks with your shoes off and throwing mud and peering at the banks for tiny flowers.

      Yeah. That’s perfection.

12. Yep. Perfection! :)
