Karis, Queen of the Pinecones
We went on our first picnic of the season today to Bernheim Forest. It was a beautiful day. The forsythia and cherry trees were blooming beautifully. The rest of the plants were just coming out. We and Andy's parents walked along the paths and stopped in the shade of a tree to rest. Karis started bringing mommy pinecones. she must have trekked back and forth 20 times. Then she started taking them to daddy, grandpa and grandma in turn.
She eventually got tired of that and started to explore. She would actually go pretty far away from us before we would call her back. Her Grandpa predicted that though she would walk away, she wouldn't get out of sight of Mommy. He was wrong! She walked around a 3 foot wall where we couldn't see her. We called to her but she didn't come back. When Daddy walked over to get her, she was happily exploring all on her own. I guess I should be happy we have instilled confidence in her. Just proves how close an eye we need to keep on her!
