We've had some really nice days lately, so Avery and I have been spending some time outside. It's so great to be able to be outside and enjoy the weather. We have a swing set in the backyard, but I can only push that swing so many hours a day before I start to go a little crazy. So, we've been trying to come up with other activities to enjoy in the yard. Our latest endeavor was flying a kite. We happen to live in a neighborhood where all of the power lines are buried under ground, making our own yard perfect for flying a kite. I had to help her get it into the air of course, but after that point, Avery had a great time taking over flying duties.
It took her a few minutes to realize that the kite we had on the ground only minutes before was now in the sky looking so small that we could barely see it. Once we reeled it in and put it back out a few times, you could just see her little brain making the connection that it was the same kite but up in the sky. I just love seeing that look on her face when she makes the connection with something I've been trying to teach her...it's priceless!
