Mommy + Me Outfits | Faux Fur Vests and Boots

I feel like I post a picture with my kids that looks staged and posed, pretty often, for how crazy they actually act while we try to take pictures. I mean, they're actually some kind of circus act while there's a camera in front of them. I honestly don't know what made me think doing a "Mommy and me" look would be a good idea, but I could not resist, once Lorelai and I had these matching vests! My vest is from Chicwish, and I'm obsessed! Lorelai was not into taking these pictures, but I somehow managed to snag a few with her in the frame, so it is what it is! haha And, I love them anyway! Because I love this girl, and she's the cutest, even if our pictures are crooked and blurry!

I've never talked about this publicly, because I do try to keep my kids lives pretty private on the internet, but Lorelai had a speech delay for much of her life, and is just now starting to talk in sentences. (I feel like I can share it now, because I feel confident that with the intervention she's received she'll be completely "caught-up" to her peers, soon.) It's been one of the hardest challenges on my life, to have a child with a disability. You might think that a language delay doesn't sound like that big of a deal, but after dealing with a child who can't communicate with you through speech, it's been quite a rough road. I guess I'm just saying that I'm so grateful for early intervention within a school setting, I'm grateful for her teachers and her speech therapists, and I'm grateful to God that she's starting to talk more and more, and it looks like she will overcome her delay. And, also, if you have a child with special needs, I can relate. This is hard, and it's not for the faint of heart! You will get through, and we can both smile and be proud of the little humans our kids turn out to be, one day! Thanks for letting me share, sometimes, guys. I feel like sometimes all you see is the highlight reel, and I definitely try to keep it real around here.

Thanks so much for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful Monday!
