True Colors

I see your true colors, shining through
I see your true colors, that's why I love you
So, don't be afraid
To let them show
True colors, true colors
are beautiful...
like a rainbow.

We sing this song to him every night. Sometimes it's me and sometimes it's "Daddy sing True Colors." And no matter how tired we are or what time of night he's awaken and is calling out for us...we are never to tired to sing it. Never.

I don't even know how we got started on singing it to him, but somehow it stuck. Ever more popular than "Twinkle, Twinkle" and "ABC" (which he subsequently requests) "True Colors" means so much to us. It reminds us that no matter what transpired that day or what the next day holds that he is unique and special and that his true colors are truly beautiful enough to let show on a regular basis.

I don't know when he'll outgrow hearing this and if he'll even remember us warbling it out to him night after night, but as long as he requests it, we'll keep singing it.

Sometimes we take pictures with our phones. Sometimes I forget to post these pictures. Here are some of them :)

Sometimes we take a lot of pictures and sometimes we don't. Sometimes the best moments are cherished in our hearts and although we wished we had taken a picture, sometimes it doesn't work out that way. Sometimes, we forget the camera on purpose and just enjoy our time together. Sometimes we get all dressed up to get just the right picture and sometimes (most times) the best pictures come in the moments in between. And most times, the best pictures are captured not by a camera, but by our hearts.
