11 minutes in the life of a toddler
When you are almost 2 and have a big brother (and are very, very stubborn to boot) you tend to think that you are actually 4 and can do the same things as the aforementioned big brother.

So when someone tells you differently, you tend to get a little bent out of shape.

But then you're distracted by what Big Brother is doing now and decide to help.

When Mommy asks, "Harper, have you been eating rocks?"

You vigorously deny the accusation....until you realize that the evidence is still in your hands (and on your mouth)...

...and then you say "no cheese, mommy! No cheese!" (meaning no more photos)

And just as quickly you're distracted again, this time by the passing mail car...

After "helping" mommy to open up her package you try and identify the latest scrapbooking supply she's received...all the while secretly plotting where to hide it so that Mommy can never ever find it again.

From 11:12-11:23 am.

    Joanna,
    those are just the sweetest pictures of your daughter and I can relate I have a 3 year old who tries to do everything her 8 year old sister does. Thanks for posting such wonderful pictues.

About Us
      Hi! I'm Joanna, author of this journal. My husband Mark and I are photographers in Asheville, North Carolina. Most recently we collaborated on a 12 week beginner photography course, the contents of which you can find
    • here.
      • The name of our company, Tuesday's Frog, is based on an almost wordless children's book about frogs that go flying on lily pads one night. We love it because it tells a story in pictures. Cole & Harper are our children, and frequent (though not always willing) photography subjects. So here you'll find not only the story of our lives, but of those we've photographed as well. We'd love to tell your story, too!
