a day in the life....

yesterday, i decided to force myself to get my camera out and cure myself of burn out...

or whatever you call this lack of inspiration....

so...i followed Max around...

and documented his little world....

it actually really wasn't a day....

more like a matter of about 30 minutes or so.... 

there was vacuuming....

there was sneaking into his brother's room while he was away at school and bouncing on his bed....

there was plenty of book reading... in his room, in his brother's room, in the hallway...

there was dental floss....

whew.  he accomplished a many great things in such a short period of time....

quite a busy boy....

but a joy to follow around...

and a joy to document him just being his cute, busy little self.....

not minding the messes he made or the 10 feet of dental floss he wasted....

i need to do this more often.....

he is a breath of fresh air....

he is just what i need...

LOVE the one of him looking into the vacuum cleaner. Such a universal toddler moment. And love the chubby belly. :)

I love this! Love to see your sweet little guy having fun. All that dental floss! Lol. Max used to do that too. He really loves the books! Max has that book Swing!
I'm happy that you did this, friend. Keep picking up that camera. The inspiration will come back! I promise.
Wish I could give little Max a big squeeze!

These are all so great. He is so cute. Love the one of him reading the book on the bed and the floss one? Omg, totally made me smile.

So cute! Books! My oldest just loves / loved books. I often found him asleep in a pile of them. Max is so darn cute with his little chubby baby belly.
Obviously I love the pics of him with the books -- so sweet. The pics of him with the floss -- adorable. He sounds very busy. :)

:) These are wonderful Naomi! Love that first vacuum shot, and the dental floss stretching his lip. So sweet. I too have been feeling burnout. I took so many pictures for others that I didn't want to take any of my own. I won't be letting that happen again this year. So glad you did this!

Really beautiful! Such a sweet little guy you have there. I've been lacking inspiration too but I call it January ;) Maybe I'll have to do a day in the life, to get me out of this funk.
