Falling Leaves








Eliana loves to walk now, on her own. So we find ourselves walking around the block lately, walking around the Magnolia Village or walking in short bursts. Last week after her nap, we walked down Crockett to see the construction site (of a huge condo complex) around the corner and we were pleasantly stopped by this beautiful tree losing its leaves. I started collecting piles of the fallen leaves and dropping them from up high, and Eliana giggled as they would land on her face, her head and her hair. We ended up being out there for a while, me picking up the leaves and dropping them over and over. It was so precious to watch her smile and hear her laugh at one of nature's purely simple yet beautiful surprises, the falling of the leaves. Magical memory for me.
