Eat Sticks


A few days ago, we had PERFECT WEATHER here!! It was fabulous! So, I put on my cropped pants, a short sleeved shirt and flip flops! I figured the 65 degree weather wouldn't last (I was absolutely right) and we made a day of it by going to a nearby park!

Brinkley didn't quite get the concept of the park.
I kept trying to get her to climb stuff (which she does like a pro at home) but she just wanted to
EAT STICKS!!

I would put her up to a little kiddie ladder, and she would get back down on her hands and knees, crawl over to a pile of rubbish, sort through it and pick out the stick of her choice.
I probably said the forbidden words 'NO. Brinkley!' a hundred times.
She even picked up someones old crusty gum. It got within a half inch of her mouth, but no worries, supermom saved the day! No gum for this little one. Especially not gum that has been sitting in the dirt for who knows how long.




Oh, see! Sticks! I have proof!
(You're probably thinking, she wouldn't have eaten sticks if you had stopped taking pictures of her doing it. But, I'll admit, it was kind of funny. You would have taken pictures of it too. She'll want these when she's older. It's a pretty cute story, right?)


Gazing into the abyss. After coming down the very staticy slide.

How fun! That one day was such a tease for spring! I'm glad you took advantage of it and went to the park. Those are some great pictures!

Does her shirt say "Baby Girl?" She is slowly going to take over your title...you know that right? I am glad you didn't let her eat the abc gum, although I use to eat it all the time and I turned out ok...right?

Gotta love little Brinks!

She is growing up! Stop her from doing that. I know you can't really, but try.

Are you excited about coming home?
