1. Me and her.
2. Morning.
3. First ever skate. So happy to have shared that special day with her Gampy.
4. Taking a break.
5. Back at it.
6. New headgear. Now she’s really ready to hit the ice.

I took these pictures the other day for tribe is alive (the clothing company Poppy reps). She was tired but for some crazy reason did NOT want to nap. The lighting was perfect so I decided to take full advantage of a moment that could have been frustrating but turned into something beautiful. Looking through the pictures later that night I was overwhelmed with the realization that my daughter is growing up. I could see my future teenager and she was breathtaking and terrifying all at the same time. I’m not ready. I love my little Poppy….

I have walked past this park hundreds of times over the years but this was the first time we stopped to have a play. I’m so happy we did. Poppy loved the green slide! I foresee many more visits in our future.
