Oh Darling, Don't You Ever Grow Up - October 15, 2011

Everytime I hear these words written below by Taylor Swift my son Wyatt comes straight to my mind.  He will be 4 years old this winter and I can not believe that time has passed as fast as it has.  There are things that I already miss about him being a toddler and the long nights of infancy seem to be a distant memory. I capture Wyatt's life with my camera as often as I can to keep these sweet moments of childhood alive but I fear that one day I won't be able to pick him up in my arms and snuggle his precious neck.

Wyatt has a love for the outdoors so, we went to Thompson Farms one Saturday morning in October.  He suggested that he wear his overalls and a camouflage shirt...by the time he came back from a tractor ride he was shirtless and wanted to take his shoes and socks off...I guess he feels right at home on a farm.  I was lucky enough to capture the following moments of Wyatt's farm visit pictured below.  My hope and prayer is that he grows into a strong, loving, spiritual young man but the mommy in me doesn't want him to grow up at all. -a

"Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light
To you everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up
Don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little." -T.S.
