Anyone with toddlers will know that they can be complex little characters. Their thoughts and opinions can change rapidly and often without much consideration for common sense.
A few months ago Baby developed an irrational fear of walking in certain places, one of which being our local nature walk. Until this point we often enjoyed country walks together, but all of a sudden she started to get hysterical in these situations and would want to be carried back to the car. On one previous visit there were loose cows and I have a feeling this may have contributed to her being so unsure. I tried a few times to take her back there and Mr Hubby also tried once, when I was away at a conference for the day. Neither of us had any luck in making her feel better. I even tried a more open venue, but she still reacted the same.
Over the weekend Mr Hubby and I were both at home with no particular plans, so we decided to try to resolve the issue. Baby was a little apprehensive when we arrived at the local walk, but very quickly got into her stride and really enjoyed herself. I am not really sure what made the difference, maybe just having the support of Mummy and Daddy.
She was so amazed with her Daddy started blowing dandelions. She adored it and kept saying ‘Dadda more!’ and obviously he dutifully obeyed.
I loved the amazement on her little face and the dandelion fragments were blown into the wind.
I adore this sight, my two favourite people in the world strolling together in the sun.
Although we have dogs, Baby is a little concerned about strange dogs. When this dog approached us she was worried, but the lady stopped and told us that ‘Dusty’ was child friendly. Baby then had an amazing time throwing the stick for her, usually straight into the pond. I don’t think Dusty minded too much.
Children are the oddest of creatures, on this day Baby decided that in addition to Upsy Daisy she wanted to take an Apple out with her…. Of course she wouldn’t actually eat an Apple, she just wanted to carry it……bonkers……
I was so pleased with how she did and apart from having to be carried all the way back to the car as she was tired from all her exploring, it was a really successful outing.
