I'm realizing as Evie is getting older that I'm taking fewer and fewer pictures of her. I wondered when she was an infant if I would keep the pace of taking pictures of her every single day, and now I know I can go a whole week without taking pictures of her. Which is sad. But also appropriate since she's a preteen and kinda "over" me anyway.
I mean, she's not really. But she's definitely more sassy and independent (or thinks she is) and doesn't really want to hear my input as much. I know this is a logical and natural step in our relationship. But it makes me a little sad.
However, there are times when she seeks me out and wants to hear what I have to say, and I'm always amazed that she still wants to hold my hand as I walk her to school. Someday she'll be too embarrassed for that, but I'll continue to treasure it until she is.
