I used to carry Ess around on my shoulders. She doesn’t like that much, anymore.

‌

If you don’t start playing at the playground as early as possible in the season, you won’t maximize your playground days!

‌

‌

Ess has since outgrown it, but she used to always want to sit on my lap down the slide.

‌

‌

This sled… did not work.

Heading out for the office Christmas party.

‌

Essie brought her hammer and screwdriver to help me put together her Ikea stool.

‌

‌

‌

‌

‌

One of Essie’s favorite games used to be “Dada Burned the Food” wherein Mama leaves the house, and Dada must prepare a meal (usually mac and cheese, a.k.a. “Bunny Noodles”). The stove always catches on fire, and the game is to figure out how to put out said fire.

‌

One of my favorite pictures, ever.

‌

This was Essie’s first Halloween out trick-or-treating. She’s dressed as the conductor from Dinosaur Train and she was so so excited. This was one of those nights you’ll never forget.
