"It get's better with time"



We've been to the zoo a handful of times,
but for some reason our trip today was my favorite.

The older Landyn gets,
the more "enjoyable" things become.

Watching the amazement and wonder on my two year old's face, 
turns my heart into MUSH

I've found the ol' saying,
"It get's better with time",
holds true, more often than not...

Sure, bringing this face to the zoo was fun,
but it was a different sort of fun.

The older Landyn gets,
the more I learn to manage and let it all go.
The more I learn to ENJOY our family of three.

Watching my girl grow into her own person,
and stretch her wings,

makes this ride so worth it.



How was your weekend?

    Okay, I might be crazy, but our girls look a lot alike! I love what you wrote about watching her spread her wings...it is SUCH a magical time to watch them grow into their own little person, isn't it?

    xo.

    I know EXACTLY what you mean! We actually made our third trip to the zoo this weekend with my 2.5 year old son. This was the best visit by far as he was much more interested in the animals. The only problem was that he didnt want to leave each animal!

    This age is so much fun :)

    wait, you don't live in SB do you?! We are members of the SB zoo so we're there all the time. It does just get better (the kids) and just wait until she's 3 and 4 and so interested in learning about all the animal facts :) So fun. Love those Toms too!

    I love taking my daughter to the zoo too! We were debating on whether or not to renew our membership and for me it was a given - although the animals are the same Zoey's growing everyday and each time we go I feel like she experiences more and more. These pics are so sweet!

    She is adorable. I agree with you, things do get better with time. The beach and the park are so much more fun now that my girl is a little older.
