Today the Kid was especially nutty, so I decided to try a not-so-promising-looking park down the block, that was supposed to have nature trails.... it was great!
I realized that my child does not know how to walk in dirt, and has no idea what tree bark is. Ouch.
We walked through this park for about an hour, in an effort to tire her out for a good nap. I think it worked. We saw butterflies, and egrets, and when I looked up, all I saw was tree tops and blue sky, and no buildings. She had a bit of a meltdown towards the end, but I just carried her out to the car and put her down for a nap.
It made me really, really wish I lived in the middle of nowhere. I felt completely at peace.
Hooray, nature.
