Photo Wednesday - All in a Summer's Day

I love this picture. I make no claims to be a photographer and I wish that I could "dress up" the photo a little more, but it's the moment that I love. This was taken yesterday evening around 6pm, while I was getting dinner ready. This really captures J at this age -- bone-tired from telling me "I'm not ever sleepy anymore Mommy" at naptime. Still wearing his swimsuit from running out and jumping in the wading pool every hour or so all day. Nice summer tan. Asleep with his Trio building block thingy that he got for Christmas and completely ignored until this past week when I've been making him spend an hour every day alone in his room for Quiet Time, and he's suddenly "discovered" all these toys that he forgot he had. This creation is a "robot building." And the kicker--he fell asleep like that watching the Michael Jackson "Beat It" video over and over again. It's little details like these I know I'll forget over the years when I see these photos but I hope I can hold on to memories of J in the summer he was 4...
