It’s August – I can see the end of summer coming. I feel like this has been an up and down Summer. We’ve had lots of difficult moments with Bea. At the end of the day I sometimes feel overwhelmed with worry for her. And then on the flip side – we’ve also had some really fun moments doing super fun summer stuff.
On this day it was just like the rest of the summer. Bea and I butted heads all morning and then we had a fantastic afternoon playing in the woods.
It makes me mad that it is so hard to find simply a bit of forest to play in. Something that was outside my door as a kid, we have to drive 15 minutes to find. But still – it’s there and I am so thankful that my kids know how to play in the woods. They’re not afraid to sit on the forest floor and climb on logs and pick up bits of nature and run through the tall grass. It’s good for all of us.
We made what I like to call a nature design. Just sticks and seeds and acorns arranged for someone to find along the path.
