almost 3


She turns 3 in a week! (eek!)
She dressed herself today. (Love that she paired that skirt with a dress.)
She loves to be barefoot.
She's the filthiest princess/tomboy we know.
She's turned from sweet to sassy.
Oh, so sassy.
She's highly influenced by her big brother.
She picked out two books at the library today: "Bugs" and "Sharks!"
She wants to go to kindergarten, too.
Her favorite colors are pink and purple.
She still loves puppies, only now when she sees a dog she says, "That's MY puppy! I take him home?"
She's finally potty-trained.
She refuses to smile at the camera.
She's fearless. She rides her hot wheels down the hill with abandon and a cackle.
She picks up bugs and squishes them.
She has moments where she's still so baby-faced cute I can't stand it.
(Then the independence returns and time-outs are frequent.)
She asked for "purple sprinkles" for her birthday. No toys, just sprinkles. Purple. Lots of them.

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!
