My son M. was a little tough this morning, so I loaded the boys into the car to take them for a ride to kill some time before lunch. The fog was really thick so I brought along my camera hoping for a good shot. Unfortunately, it was too thick and this was the best I got. This is a frozen pond not too far from our house.
M. continued to be clingy all day. He kept saying that he wanted to cuddle and would pull my neck or my hair and say 'put down your head'. It kept frustrating me that he was being so physical and demanding. Then, when my husband told me that M. said his favorite part of the day was 'cuddling Mommy' I kind of felt bad. He is a sweet little boy.
This is a fabulous foggy scene. I love it. The best you got, HA!! A fav! I hope that he's not getting sick:(. Poor kid and mama for having a tough day!
Absolutely gorgeous fog shot! I love how there's just a hint of the trees. And I can relate to your day and the whole clinginess thing. Maybe you can give him extra heartfelt cuddles tomorrow. :)
This is beautiful! I really love the thickness of the fog. I understand how you feel. My kids have been sick on and off for a while and the clinginess is starting to wear on me too. Don't be too hard on yourself...you feel like you didn't do enough but he feels like it was his favorite part of the day. You're doing just fine!
I think the thickness of the fog is wonderful. It's so dramatic. Don't feel too guilty, your son probably doesn't even know you were frustrated and he obviously had a happy day. My son is way more snuggly than my daughter. Sometimes it drives me crazy but now that he's 91/2 I figure soon he won't want to hold my hand in public so I better take advantage of it now.
Awww, don't feel bad. It's tough sometimes being someone's entire universe. Sometimes you just want some time to remember your own identity! And this isn't too shabby for "all you could get" - foggy shots are some of my faves, and you've done this one justice.
Stunning capture. Beautiful fog. Kids have that ability to ground us. Spent yesterday cringing cause every 20 seconds my two year old would say "daddy, daddy...watch this." Non-stop. Daddy, daddy, daddy.....wanted to pull my hair out, but couldn't since its already gone. Finally he says it one more time....daddy, daddy, daddy...I put my face in my hands and mumble "what?" in complete frustration. And he says...Daddy...I love you. Big smile on his face. Melts the heart.
I love that the fog is sooo thick! Very mysterious and a neat shot. And don't feel too guilty, we all have our moments, and often times the wee'uns don't pick up on some of it like this day. :)
So sorry for the rough day. I can relate. I wish you a better tomorrow.
And it's quite evident that you're a great mom.
