My eldest made this for me for Valentine’s Day. It is so sweet. I just love what she wrote inside: someone has uncontrollable love for you. Thank you, Darling.

Meet the artist below. She is the little person on the left wearing the hat. My camera work really does not do justice to how beautiful this is. My daughter’s attention to detail is remarkable. As she brought it home from school, she says: “I forgot to give Daddy a hand”. She makes me smile.
a daughter’s eye

I took my eldest daughter for her first official eye exam. I am amazed by the technology eye doctors use today.
Part of the exam involved the doctor taking a digital closeup of her eye for his records. That way he can track the changes in her eyes over the years. OHIP covers an annual eye exam for all children until the age of 19. I highly recommend it for the sheer thrill of it.
The picture naturally does not do justice to her. She has stunning eyes. More green than hazel. But I think you can see for yourself.
The doctor also confirmed much to my delight that no two eyes are ever the same. Nor should they be. It made me very proud of my loopylocks eyes.
A little background to this picture… I have three children and took each of them for this appointment on separate trips so they could each have their own day off and we could spend some one-on-one time together. On the first visit with my youngest daughter, I was blown away when I saw her eye appear on screen. On the second visit, when it was my son’s turn, I decided I would ask the doctor his permission to take a photo of his photo. But I did not get the nerve up to follow through with it. So the image above was when I took my third child and finally asked the question.
party shoes

When I was a little girl growing up in Barbados, party shoes were a big deal for me. At any birthday party, I’d be the girl with her party shoes still on, running around, when everyone else was barefoot.
This picture is of my six year old daughter’s latest prized possession (passed down to her by one of her cousins). She beamed with pride as soon as she put them on. Seeing the look on her face gave me a flashback to my own party shoes days.
