12/52

Warmer weather found us briefly. I am ready to stop hibernating and enjoy the outdoors again.

We made two visits to the zoo this week. Sophia is interested in the animals, even though she only observes them for a short period of time. Her favorite part of the zoo is riding the train. She can't wait to be big enough to ride by herself.

Thrilled to be linking up with Jodi for The 52 Project.

The spring-like temperatures over the weekend made for perfect park weather. 

Unfortunately the playground we visited was not toddler friendly, but Sophia surprised me.

Aside from running in the grass the only area that Sophia was able to use was the rock wall that led to a slide.

I showed her how to climb the rock wall once and she conquered it. I stood by her side in case she lost her balance, but she kept looking at me saying "No, Mama". She climbed that wall over a dozen times.

I have a fear of heights and always get nervous if there is a chance that Sophia could fall.

She has no fear. {but she does request her light on at bedtime}

I love how Sophia tackles new tasks and adventures.

I hope she is always brave.

Thrilled to link up with Ashley and Jess today.
