I have seen on a couple bloggers enter a photo contest at
The Paper Mama and thought to myself what a cute idea. For that reason, I thought, why the hell not give it a try. The theme of this photo challenge is family and instantly a photo of my boys and I at Disneyland came to mind.
There are a number of reasons I love this photo. First of all, it is me and my boys.
Secondly, we are all three holding hands. This NEVER happens anymore. Sadly, as they grow up, I am coming to the realization that they just do not need me as much anymore. There were days when I wished that they would be less clingy. That perhaps I could go a day without them hanging on my legs and begging to be carried. Now, I feel lucky when they reach out for my hand or want to cuddle on the couch to watch a show. It is amazing how fast it changed. Luckily I still have a little one who needs this attention but what happens when that is gone?
Third, they are holding hands. On a day to day basis, I am constantly dealing with the arguing, fighting, tattle telling of two brothers. It could drive anyone insane. But I know they love each other and pictures like this show that in the end, they are there for each other.
Finally, it is at Disneyland and who doesn't love a great picture from Disneyland!
