Afternoon in the park





So yesterday was one of the best days Ella and I have had together. I got home from work to find Ella playing in the backyard with the nanny enjoying the sunshine. I changed quickly and went to join the fun. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. A beautiful butterfly came within 2 feet of Ella's face and she lit up with excitement. She desperately tried to reach for it and her arms flapped like crazy. She followed the butterfly with her eyes until it went into the neighbor's yard. Once it disappeared she let out this huge laugh and then sighed. I know this sounds super cheesy, but it was one of those magical moments that I never want to forget. It's pretty amazing to see a child's face the first time they see a butterfly and you can't help but wonder what they're thinking. Since I was now in nature mode, I thought this day would be a perfect opportunity to explore the park that is one block from our house. I attempted to jog with munchkin in the stroller, but my bladder is still not what it used to be (I know, I know...I''m turning into every other person who has a reason why they can't run). If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Ella played on the swings for nearly an hour in her jammies and made another friend at the park. It's so fun to watch her stare at other kids, she will not take her eyes off of them. I snapped as many photos as I could, but the iPhone stinks when taking pictures in motion :) Here are some snapshots of our awesome afternoon!
