Yesterday was the first day of summer, and oh what a beautiful day it was. The little bear and I went out and sat in the sun (or rather, he ran around exploring while I snapped pictures and occasionally chased him down) and enjoyed the nice warm sunshine. I forgot how much I actually like summer - last year I was too worried about my tiny newborn over-heating or getting too much direct sunlight to really enjoy ever going outside. He and I get the same when it's a touch too warm - we get lethargic and eventually cranky - so last year we pretty much lived indoors with the air conditioner cranked to the max.
This year is so different. I have a wild toddler who loves to explore and dodge all my attempts to take photos of him, and I feel much more confident in my saggy mom skin. I have a smidgen more energy, too. It helps to not be in the newborn fog - that's the one thing I'm not looking forward to with fall, the return of the fog.
But for now, it's summer. Sunshine and time outside and hopefully some bright new beginnings for us. Be good to me, summer. Be good to us all.
