This is what childhood should be.
Carefree
Full of joy
Full of freedom
Flying high into the sky
Laughter that makes your heart soar
Smiles that stretch your face almost painfully
The security of knowing you're loved
And yes, even scary tumbles from the swing
Because it's good to know that someone is there to catch you when you fall
It's good to know that it doesn't have to stop you
You can relish the comfort of a snuggle, and then brush off the dirt - and start again...a little bit smarter and a little bit stronger
You can learn that despite the bumps along the way, life is full of hope and promise and beauty.
Especially on a gorgeous fall afternoon at the park
With kitty cat rainboots on the wrong feet

I love your words Christina, especially after a particularly difficult bedtime session tonight for Harrison and I.
Beautiful day there! Gorgeous colors. I had a maternity photo session with friends today that ended with pictures of their two-year-old swinging. How funny.
You always have such poignant words to go along with your photo stories. So lovely.
Wonderful shots, Christina! Looks like your dad and Nadia were having a fun time. Yes, that is what childhood should be. :)
It's vital that the shoes are on the wrong feet :) Lovely.
Absolutely!!! Your words and photos are just perfect.
These photos and words are perfection and those boots on the wrong feet just make me smile SO big... :D
THAT IS WHAT it should be...I love the lighting in the photos...and especially love teh boots ont he wrong feet!
Hope you have many swingings this week! :-)
Great photos of Nadia and your dad...I need to capture more moments like these...
so very true! it is good to be Nadia! I can tell. ♥
That is so funny. I didnt even notice the backwards boots until you said something and now it is SO obvious. :0) My favorite shot is the 4th one where she is looking off to the side. So dreamy. And I think you hit it on the head when you said...the security of knowing you are loved....That is so important in a childs life.
Her boots are adorable! Love this series.
Gorgeous bokeh in these! And, N on a big-girl swing? Go Nadia!
Great shots, I totally didn't realize her boot were on the wrong feet. Francesco loves the swing but will only go high on the "baby" swing. On the big swing he likes to "take it easy"...his words.
