My Shadow

So everyday, rain or shine, I have a little shadow that follows me around the house. If I'm in the bedroom, my shadow is on the bed, if I'm in the kitchen, my shadow is helping right along by taking all of the tupperware out of the cabinet. Along the same lines, if I am in the bathroom, low and behold, there is my shadow right behind. This can come in handy sometimes; brushing teeth is never a battle because if I am brushing mine, my shadow must be brushing as well. And hopefully potty training won't be too stressful since every time I have to go, my little shadow must sit and try to go as well (we have yet to get the desired results from all of this trying though!) 

This morning, as on every other day, my shadow followed me into the bathroom when I was putting my contacts in. After I was done, he promptly put his little finger into the contact case and put it to his eye...he of course, had to put his contacts in too! He also regularly grabs my eyelash curler while I am applying my make-up and puts it against his cheek. (I'm sure someday he will grow to hate this story) Apparently my shadow likes to have pretty eyelashes too :)

I love my shadow and my shadow loves me. Someday, I am going to miss my little shadow when he goes off to school and is no longer always just steps behind. I try to remind myself of this when my shadow unrolls all of the toilet paper or takes every single tissue out of the brand new box because he too, needs to blow his nose!
