Afternoons out & scraped knees

Millie and I spent the afternoon exploring our local park. The weather has been nothing less than gorgeous, and it was so nice to feel the breeze in our hair and the sun on our skin!

While running along the paths, Millie fell and scraped her knee. Now... you may be wondering why I'm evening mentioning it, but it was her fist scraped knee! It's kind of like a right of passage, I suppose. Anyway, she wailed and with her arms outstretched in the air, she demanded that I pick her up.  She sobbed on my shoulder, and I had about 3.4 seconds to relish that she was holding me tight-- needing me to make everything better, until she was crying to be put back down to continue running around again.

Ah, she is fierce, this one. <3
