When he’s sleeping… and occasionally while he plays… he has unguarded moments when he looks for all the world like he’s still… my baby.
That soft roundness in his cheek. The pudgy legs. “Arm-bows” (elbows!) still dimpled.
But most of the time these days… he’s stretching – upward, out toward independence.
He can balance on one foot. Walk down stairs without holding on (but he’s still supposed to).
Run across the lawn with arms flailing and head ducked down.
Jump up and down without falling over.
Soon he’ll learn to ride a bicycle… do a somersault… maybe even cartwheels…
He’s growing. Into his own… and ever more deeply into our hearts.

While it’s hard to watch him grow out of his babyhood… I’m glad he’s growing into the lovely clothing from Tea Collection. Kid-friendly prints and styles that grow with your children. Sophisticated, yet playful. Sturdy fabrics, yet soft and comfortable-feeling. And with a cutting edge look that comes from their globally-inpsired designs – like the cool geometric City Biker Tee and toned-down neon Helsinki Fire Brigade Tee! And check out the boys in their matching Peli Stripe outfits!
Tea Collection clothing holds it value for me because their outfits last through several children (and the fickleness of most fashion and pop culture trends!). Check out their latest Nordic Design Collection (I love this summary of their Nordic Inspiration trip! And some downloadable coloring sheets!)!
Thanks to Tea Collection for providing items for review! All opinions are 100% my own!

Such a sweet post! I am shocked everyday that my son is almost 3. He was just my little infant yesterday it seems. My little guy has started doing somersaults, too cute!
