Walking and Chalking

We spent the morning outside. Its beautiful out. The kids grabbed shovels and played in the snow a little while I walked with Waverly on the road. She isn’t a big hand holder, but she humoured me today and led me up and down our street, over and over again. After a while, she wanted to walk on her own, occasionally joining hands with me and then rejecting me seconds later. Cruel move, Wavy. As tends to happen, our family floated together, and the snow play was put on hold while we all did laps. 

At first, Wavy was super uncertain of the uneven ground, and wouldn’t set foot on any snow, any patch of gravel, or even a wet spot that darkened the street. Eventually, she would, but she’d ask to hold my hand. And by the end, I’d offer her my hand and she’s decline, in her polite, high pitched, “no.” 

When walking slow laps finally got boring, we moved across the street and decorated our neighbours driveway 😆 Sorry, not sorry, Tom and Rae! 

All in all, it was a terribly cute morning. Everyone is nice and tired from the fresh air. I’m a little cold still, but I wore a spring jacket and capris, and it was worth it! The kids are a bit scrappy, but food is helping. I’m also a bit scrappy, but again, food will help. Maybe some Netflix. Maybe some crocheting. We have nothing else on the books today! Maybe an actual intentional walk later on. Maybe not. We’ve got nothing but time 🤷‍♀️
