Nature's Magic

Today we braved the cold weather and took a walk to our favorite park. The trees are so beautiful, creating a canopy overhead with a winding walk through the idyllic scene. We walk here with Jack a few times a week. He loves to be outside and sits happily staring at the trees. I often think babies must feel closer to home (heaven) when in nature. It doesn't matter if Jack is throwing a monstrous fit, the second we step outside he becomes silent and still...once when he was just a couple of months old we had a tough time keeping him calm and happy. So I took him out to the backyard where he instantly calmed down, falling asleep. Within 3 seconds of walking back inside the house he started wailing again (how did he know we were back inside? He was asleep!!). So of course I walk right back outside again where he immediately calmed down. Nature, whatever your magic is, keep it coming!
