And She's Off...

Katie has been scared of grass since she came home. Probably the result of limited exposure to any texture that was not hard and/or smooth. I'm not sure the child even saw a blade of grass in China. Now this does come in handy to keep her contained when we're outside in the yard. I could "strand" her on a blanket or the deck. Well, all that ended on Saturday. I left her on the deck while I went to hang out the diapers on the clothesline. She crawled right down the steps and took off. I followed her around the apple tree and discovered what had motivated her.... she climbed right into the baby pool, clothes and all! ... and gave me a big ol' grin. Now she is running all over the yard after her siblings! Funny how that works!
