Conquering Fears

Sara has become a master

on the park slides.

She's been a little too small

up until recently.

Her friend, Gunnar loves the slides

and he goes down them all with no fear.

I can tell she's wanted to join him

but she's been too scared.

Over the weekend,

we took her to the park again

and she was a completely

different girl.

She went down the toddler slides

with absolutely NO hesitation!

She even went down the BIG kid slides
Even though it scared her mommy.

We will definitely need to fit in

more trips to the park

on nice sunny NC days.

We can tell she is so proud of herself

for conquering her fears.

These are such special moments

to witness as a parent.

Sea Life Aquarium

We brought Sara to

Sea Life Aquarium

over the weekend.

She was in awe.

When she gets excited,

she flaps her arms up

up and down really fast.

She did a lot of arm flapping.

Sara was so brave

when it came to touching

the star fish and crab.

Over the weekend,

we also switched Sara's car seat

from rear facing to forward facing.

Sara was teary eyed for a little bit

but got over it quickly

and enjoyed her new vantage point.

We yelled out

"I see a house"

"I see a horse"

"I see a big truck"

all the way to the aquarium.
