I was holding my 3 year old today like a baby, as we were playing, and it just hit me how I blinked… and that tiny baby became a much heavier toddler who talks, walks, runs and is her own little person! I was a bit emotional inside…. #diarycomics #comic #comicart #comics #comicartist #momlife

A little Irish Púca for you! #kidlitart #kidlitart #kidlitillustration #kidlitartist #kidlitillustrator #picturebookillustration #picturebookart #picturebookartist #illustrator #illustration #childrensbookillustration #childrensbookillustrator #childrensbookart #characterdesign #procreate
