tippy toes

standing on your tip toes

is one of the cutest things children do

whether it's to see over the counter to grab those

little cookie crumbs or that extra salsa chip

whether it's Hayley sneaking for another permanent marker out of her stash drawer
or Madison reaching for her tutu off her crown hook in her bedroom

little ones on their tip toes

 always makes me stop

to take in the moment
even for a split second
to remember exactly how sweet childhood was

even if seconds later I am asking them to put that marker back
or "no, not another cookie"

and just maybe
"do you need help with that? can you reach it okay?"

little ones on their tippy toes
reminds me of a time where your thoughts were full of wonder

and your next thought was only if you remembered where you put your princess crown
to complete your outfit

many things signify childhood
but for me...

few things signify it as simply as when I see the girls on their tip toes

the innocence
cuteness
and cleverness
about them

the only time I stand on my tip toes anymore

 is for reaching something off of a shelf

the childlike tippy toe state has now been replaced by day to day tasks

I much rather think of tip toes
from my girl's point of view

full of excitement

smiles

and intention
