Mirror Mirror

I frequently take quick snaps of myself while trying on clothes to ask friends for advice. Tonight I was taking a bit too long trying clothes on and a tiny someone got bored. She started photobombing all my shots.


It is just a silly shot, taken to ask a friend if the skirt was a good buy, but when I looked at Gwen I just laughed and laughed. She truly is my little mini me. I have heard it said before that kids are a mirror of all your flaws. That they will always mimic and pick up on all your weaknesses and worst traits. I have certainly experienced that. Being a mom to Gwen has made me want to be a better person, especially when I watch her doing or saying things that -gulp- I have to admit she has picked up from me. But this shot, in the mirror, in the same pose, just killed me. Sometimes I fail at being mom, ok a lot of times I fail at being a mom, but this? this posing and being a little miss? this I am proud of! (maybe I shouldn't be, but it's not like she is Honey Boo Boo!)

*oh, and ps, the skirt is from Anthropologie. It is even more amazeballs in person than you could ever imagine. Go out RIGHT now and buy one. You bet I did.
