The fresh, cool autumn air brings comfort to even the smallest of hearts.
Ellery's drama queen nature revved it's little head today in an unusual fashion. It was a clingy and extra whiny morning in our house, and nothing I did seemed to help the rotten mood she found herself in. She fought her way through naptime. She cried as I rocked her. She even fussed as she shoved a handful of Cheerios in her mouth. Something was wrong.
After fighting it all morning, I couldn't take being cooped up any longer while there was a beautiful day waiting for us on the other side of our door. I grabbed an oversize blanket and a sweater for E and headed out.
It was instantaneous. Her mood change. She was a different kid.
I diagnose it: Cabin fever.
She was bored. Bored with her toys. Bored with our grey walls. Bored with me singing "If you're happy and you know it" to her - ten times in a row.
I needed a little fresh air, and apparently she did, too.

Olivia is the same way!! Going outside cures anything for her!! And I am so glad that cooler weather has finally found it’s way to South GA!
She's like her Daddy. She prefers to be outside! I see she is fascinated by leaves also. :)
