I often think about how a picture can tell someone familiar with the situation so much more than just what was immediately captured. Like this picture of Callum. It speaks volumes about where he is right now. But it speaks of things to me that so many others would miss.
It speaks of how he now just goes in the playroom by himself and actually plays.
How he is still sporting his Christmas jammies from last year. I bought them a size up and cuffed the sleeves in hopes of getting two Christmas's out of them. It may be a stretch, but I'm still hoping.
On the table is the cash register that is arguably one of his favorite things in the playroom to play with.
But the duplos are up there too. He used to just throw them for fun. Now he actually tries building with them.
Of course, emptying all the contents out of the play kitchen is also one of his favorite things to do as well.
This picture also tells a little bit about me. Because slow evenings with early bath times, then some play time before bed, are kind of my favorite.
On a side note, I'm glad I do posts like these. Stages are fleeting. It's so easy to forget some of the really cute stuff your kids did. While writing this on Callum, I came across one from Connor. He's grown up so much in the past couple years, but it was fun to be reminded of his obsession with smoke detectors.
