Day Fifty-Six: Outdoors

This is part of a creative project called 100 Word, 100 Days. In this project I’ll be writing a 100 word piece about my experience as a new mother every day for 100 days. Read more here.

There is a lot of questionable advice about babies. Someone told me to take our daughter outside a lot, which is solid gold.

We try to go outside every day. Today we went to an arboretum, and got to walk the paths and look at trees. It was steamy. Our daughter didn’t seem to care. She got to be strolled around the paths, looking up at leaves, and hearing the bird songs.

The more I experience things with her, the more magical they become to me. I want to make sure the magic of nature sticks around as she grows.
