Happy Mothers Day! Three Generations of Ada!

About a week ago, Coco decided she wanted to wear her black and white "princess dress" for the day. She's worn it several (more like a hundred) times, but for some reason, on this particular day, I had the bright idea to dress up in black and white stripes as well. I thought it would make for a fun little Mummy and Me photo shoot, and since my sister who's taken all our Mummy and Me photos is with us riding out the pandemic, I quickly roped her in. I just wanted a few photos that I would eventually share, and in about 10 minutes or so, we were done. 
I logged onto my church's service on Facebook afterwards and didn't think much of the photos... However, right after the service, I walked into my mum's room and she was also wearing black and white! She made a comment about how funny it was that we were all dressed in the same colors, and another idea hit me: impromptu photo shoot part 2! As the thought came to me, I remembered that Mothers Day was coming up, and I figured it would be awesome to have photos of my daughter, my mum and me for this post that you're reading now. Throw in the Ada factor for even more cuteness! (For non-Nigerians, Ada is the Igbo name for First Daughter).

Thanks to my sister for taking our photos, and thanks to Coco and my mum for getting into my shenanigans (you'll both be thankful for all my photo requests one day).

Happy Mothers Day to every woman out there who has children, yearns for children, cares for children, miss their children, and loves at least one child in the world. I hope you like the photos.
