These photos are almost 2 weeks old now. I just realized I forgot to upload my camera in a while.
That Monday, 1/7, the girls were at AHG and the boys were in the basement playing Wii. I didn’t want to disturb the boys as they had a friend over and I feel like they are constantly doing the things I ask and need them to do. I’d had my own nap on the sofa so I made the trek upstairs myself to wake Johanna from her nap. I cracked open the door and found this.

I drank in her sweetness for a few seconds and then I just knew I needed to record it forever. I tip-toed out of her room and back down the stairs for the camera. I made a second trip UP the stairs… much more slowly this time. I moved at a turtle’s pace partly because I didn’t want to make noise and wake her… but more because I was breathing hard by that point! As I approached her room I was rewarded to find she had not woken up. I got my shots in and even the sound effects of the digital camera didn’t give me away. I got to sit next to her and rouse her gently.
Can you see the evidence of her tea party up by her pillow? And the books she read to Laura Carrot and Jimmy Gourd. Oh. She’s getting to be a very big girl. But those moments where I still get to dote on her are so special. And it was so worth the extra trip downstairs to save this image for later.
