51/52

 "A photo of my little man, once a week, every week, in 2014"
 
Reece, these hands, your hands, gosh they are so busy all the time. From hand stitching to finger knitting, food prep to baking, painting to drawing, playing to building, they are always busy doing something, and I love seeing them in action. This week you took it upon yourself to create a stuffed Christmas tree. I have no idea where you got the idea from, but I left our home one afternoon and when I returned three hours later you had finished it and were so very proud of your creation. The sparkle in your eyes when you showed it to me...it made my heart melt. To see you so passionate about creating, to see the joy you find when you make something with your hands, goodness that makes me so happy. I hope you never lose that passion, and that you always create from the heart, and with joy.

  1. love this photo! I tried stitching with Finn about a year ago but he wasn't interested. Then just the other day he told me he thought he was ready to try sewing!
    Reece looks like he is doing a great job.

    1. Thanks Taryn. That is wonderful, I bet he will love it this time around. Reece has always enjoyed it, but now that he can think things up and actually create them, I think he enjoys it even more.
