Shadows :: 5/52

The theme for this week’s photo challenge over at My 3 Boybarians is shadows.

And my interpretation:

This is a picture of me and my little girl. It represents shadows in 2 ways.

The first is obvious: it is a picture of our shadows.

The second: she is my little shadow.

She repeats my words, actions, and even emotions. Sometimes it’s silly stuff – like calling Daddy, “Babe” because that’s what Mommy does! Other times it’s not so silly – like getting impatient when she doesn’t get things right away. Wonder who she learned that from?

“Jesus, help my actions to be pure so I will lead my little shadow in the right way.”

  4. Thanks, Christina! Was just hangin’ out at your place and stalking your linen closet makeover. Great work! I LOVE re-organizing spaces and the “after” effect!

  5. It’s so true Christa….our children end up being little “mini-me’s.” I think that can be one of the most difficult challenges in parenting!

  6. Great shot.

  7. True – one of the hardest things is teaching them NOT to do things they’ve learned by example!
