And here ends my 365 project of my daughter, Taryn. She is simply an amazing, articulate, inquisitive, beautiful being and I look forward to seeing what the next year has in store for her. I will be leaving this project alone and embarking on a new one, whenever and whatever it may be. Thanks for joining me for the journey!

364/365

She has been drawing faces for a few months now, but they always look a little....off. She sure does love art!

363/365

With each adventure comes the opportunity for a misplaced step, a veered course, a stumble, a lesson. Sometimes I wonder if she just really, really likes her special bandaids.

362/365

Giving new meaning to "the way to someone's heart is through their stomach". It takes so very little sometimes to invoke a world of magic and wonder if my child's life. The look that says "HOLY CRAP! YOU CAN DO THAT?!!?"

361/365

Those lashes are the keeper of twinkles, the guardian of tears, and the ambassador of sleep.

360/365

Bathtime with Daddy is a magical time, filled with too many bubbles (is there really such a thing?) ALL the bath toys, and squeals that make me creep to the door to peek in.

359/365

Taryn makes friends so easily when we're out and about. Always quick to ask someone's name, what they're doing, where they're going. If we were to ever have a second child, she'd be a great older sister.

358/365

Lunchtime just isn't complete without a dinosaur being involved.

357/365

She calls them her rubyredslippers and is the only pair she'll keep on when we're at home. Just like me, she's a fan of bare feet.

356/365

She refuses to eat in any matter except hard boiled, which she asks for specifically. "Mama, I want an oval egg!

355/365

She alternates between enjoying a long, drawn out shower and playing in a tub full of bubbles. It's so interesting to watch her progression in the things she enjoys.

354/365

Living downtown in a major metropolis without a vehicle means we rely on public transit, much to Taryn's delight. Her favorite thing is to ride on the c-train and look out the windows as the world passes by.

353/365

Her laptop toy was her favorite potty accessory before she moved to the regular toilet. "We won a prize ticket!" is a phrase that worked it's way into my dreams more times than I'd like to admit. Of all of her "annoying" toys, this one was the most educational.

352/365

Her beauty blows me away sometimes.

351/365

You can tell what she had for breakfast by looking at her feet. Today's item of choice was blueberries, her favorite.

350/365

She loves to pop bubbles. She also loves her rainbow hoodie which will soon be too small. Luckily, I take note of popular items and buy them in multiple sizes. I'm learning, right along with her.

349/365

What's more fun than a bubble bath? Blowing bubbles while in said bubble bath. No wonder she never wants to get out of the tub!

348/365

Sometimes, I wonder what she's thinking when she sees me behind the camera, or if she's seeing her own reflection in the lens.

347/365

Markers that sing and light up when used with their base? Best.Day.Ever!

346/365

"Mama look at me! I'm upside down!" is a common shout from anywhere in the apartment she can manage it.
