I am so thankful for Mikayla's love of our earth and every thing that dwells on it.
Today we went out for lunch after seeing a play. While at leaving lunch the kiddos got balloons; Mikayla asked to put hers in the car because she didn't want to carry it in the store. After she put it in a gust of wind came through and pushed the balloon out. Tears filled up in her eyes, I told her honey don't cry it's an accident. She looked at me and said, "mommy I just littered, and its horrible. If it goes into the ocean some animal will confuse the rubber for food. If it goes in the Santa Monica mountains a mountain lion or coyote will get caught up in the ribbon or eat it." I just looked at her and said your right it could and told her that everything will be ok it was an accident.
I am thankful that she is aware of cause and effect, and that she is passionate about this. At first I thought oh dear child grow up and stop crying, but the tears were good, as well as our conversation.
