And Sometimes I Have to Be Just Mommy | Rhode Island Photographer

My baby girl isn’t feeling too hot.  Right in the middle of one of the busiest times for me recently.  Right before her birthday party this weekend.  Nose that won’t stop running, sore nose and upper lip from being wiped, teeth coming through and ears that hurt from the teeth.  General misery on her part.  Lots of tears, lots of screams.  Lots of falling down when she walks because she is so miserable.  Which leads to more tears and more screams.

She twirls and pulls at her hair when she is tired.  She’ll pulling and twirling her hair a lot these past few days.  I just want to make her better.  So sometimes I have to stop and be just mommy, not a photographer who happens to have her kids at home with her while she works.  This is one of those times.  Work is getting pushed aside for a few hours each day.  Because this is what I long to see again…and permanently not just because I showed her her picture on the LCD.

So for right now, I’m just being mommy.
