Splendor in the Grass

On a visit to Aunt Amy and Cousin Drew's on another beautiful spring day, Charlotte had her first experience sitting and playing in grass. She seemed delighted to be sitting in Aunt Amy's yard at first. When she decided she wanted to crawl in the grass, however, Charlotte displayed her first signs of fear in all of her nine and a half months. She was terrified of putting her hands on the grass to crawl. After many attempts of getting about an inch away and then pulling back in fear, Mommy demonstrated for her that the grass doesn't hurt. It took some encouraging words from Aunt Amy and Cousin Drew (who was hanging out in the grass like he'd been doing it his whole life), but Charlotte finally took the plunge and discovered that grass was actually soft and fun to use as a crawling mat.


This green stuff looks awfully prickly...

























Wow, this is kind of soft. Mommy and Drew weren't lying!




















Looks like you'll need to buy some stain remover, Mommy!

















Mommy and Daddy need to buy a house SOON. I need a yard to practice my yoga poses.
