Black & White
You see the world in black and white.
Good and bad.
Hot and Cold.
Bed time and Play time.
Mommy and Daddy.
There’s no complications. No middle ground.
It’s either or.
I admire your innocence. Your sense of certainty about the life you live. There’s no confusion. No doubt. No hesitation.
Just simplicity.
A little boy with everything in the world he could possibly need.
You haven’t experienced heartache yet (except for that time we had to wash Puppy and you thought she was gone forever).
You haven’t lost someone you love or had someone you care about betray you.
You haven’t struggled or cried over a decision and worried that it would ruin your life or someone else’s.
You haven’t made decisions that did change your life.
You haven’t lost sleep over your future and what it might hold.
You haven’t sacrificed for something you wanted; you haven’t burned bridges with people who have wronged you.
You just…live.
And love.
And bring more joy to my world than you could imagine.
Your simple, innocent little world makes up every ounce of this crazy, hectic, chaotic existence that I live in.
I love that you bring just a little bit of perspective to my life day in and day out.
A little black and white to the colors that sometimes blind me.

Life is so simple at that age!
This is beautifully written, Courtney. I adore and admire children for the simple way that can easily see and enjoy the world. We, as adults, have much to teach our children, but they have even more to teach us. And that’s humbling to me.
So sweet & cute! Love the tones in the color shots. Very pretty and soft.
