Recently I got a deal on ordering a canvas photo. I didn't look for the deal, but I wanted to take advantage of it so I went looking through older pics to find something I really wanted to commemorate.
This one of Lyss is one of my all-time favorites.
And that's saying a lot because in two and a half years, the kid has had several thousand pictures taken of her.
I love this shot because I'm a photo junkie and perfect action photos are really hard to come by. One with the light just right and suspended water droplets is even more incredible. But that's not the only reason I love it.
This was at Becky and Brian's in the summer of 2008, so Lyss was just over one at the time. Sav had a slip and slide that she and Em were playing on, but I never expected Lyss to jump right in like she did.
She absolutely loved the water and would've just about drowned herself because she refused to stay off of it and the water was spraying right at the level of her face.
That didn't stop her. We had to drag her inside waterlogged and toting extra pounds of weight in her diaper.
That was a view of things to come.
She is one of the bravest and most inquisitive kids ever.
If there is a sidewalk to jump off, she jumps.
If there is a new path to take, she wants to take it.
If there is something she's never seen before, she wants to touch it.
And if she doesn't want to do something, well, then she's just as headstrong.
