The Ordinary Moments - a special photo of my boy

There is a new linky in town.  Mummy Daddy Me has started The Ordinary Moments

This is her post for this week, where you link up if you want to participate.

This is week 1 of the linky and I am going to TRY and join in every week, as there are linkies I LOVE and ADORE and yet I am always so fickle, so VERY inconsistent.  Let's try and make this one I do every week.

It didn't take me long to decide which photo to include.

It is this one from yesterday:

We have just got on the train, it's yesterday and we are on the way to Lollibop, but out of 211 photos THIS one is the MOST ordinary.  Or is it?!?!?!?

I have picked it for so many reasons as follows:

• It is the first time I have seen for definite that my toddler is now a BOY!
• Look at the light Vs dark.  The sun streaming in and highlighting his foot.
• Look at the position of his left mellow hand.  I taught yoga for 38 of the weeks he was in the womb.  I think it has stayed with him.  He has the ability to be meditative, despite usually being a full on loon, with too much energy!
• He's gone into a world of his own.  But I captured it.  It's special.  It shows the essence of my son.  My still, thoughtful, meditative son.  Comfortable and at ease, knowing he is safe with Mummy and Daddy, on a train he often travels on.  Comfortable that although we are going somewhere new, he trusts me that we'll have fun.
• Wearing a shirt that fit him last Summer too.
• It's the first day in weeks that it's been windy and cool, so he has a long sleeved shirt underneath.
• The sandals haven't been worn in a few days for the same reason.
• The plaster tells a tale of a scraped knee as he went downhill  on his new balance bike when we spent the day in Hampstead Heath last Saturday when he'd only had it about 5-6 days.  Silly Mummy for taking her eye off the ball and letting him.
• He's MUCH browner than he is in Winter but then we have FULLY enjoyed the heatwave and had our paddling pool out everyday that it was hot.
• His hair is oiled up with coconut oil and for the 1st time in ages is free of tangles.  Mummy trimmed the dead ends out too.
• He's looking handsome and showing some signs of the man he will one day become.

I love you Aaron.
