Sweet Zara Wheatley is 19 months old. She is still a driven, smart, beautiful, sweet, feisty, and all around amazing little lady. She is talking, expressing herself, and putting words together into short sentences. This evening she bumped her head on the faucet in the bath tub and she kept saying "sad mama, sad" and frowning into the mirror. Everywhere we go she points at different things and says what they are. She is really listening and paying attention to the world around her. Zara has temper tantrums but she seems to pull herself together pretty easily and as long as she is healthy she seems to sleep pretty constantly. She is so sweet, giving mama hugs and kisses all the time. We are having such a fun summer together, I am so happy that we have this time and will have this time together every year. I am so happy, tired but happy. Have I gotten my "body back"? No. Do I have time to read, draw, paint, do yoga, meditate, etc? No. Do I work my tail off all day and sometimes all night. Yes. But do I love almost every second of it? Yes. I love being a mama to this amazing little lady. I love watching her evolve and become more and more of who she is. I love walking around the block with her while she walks and smells the flowers while holding lucy's leash. I don't really care that I am not wearing a size 4, I do not care if I do not have alone time to reflect because I am so happy with what I do get. So much time with this beautiful soul that entered the world through my body.
