Autumn leaves

I raked leaves this afternoon. I spread out three blankets and Hannah sat and watched me for a little while. It used to be one blanket was enough! I know she only sat and watched because she'd never seen me rake leaves before, next time I'm sure she'll be crawling off the blankets immediately. I filled up a bin, and then sat by her and kept her company while she moved the blankets around and played with the grass. She was laughing almost the whole time! I think she likes being outside. It was a nice day, too. I was thinking about how next year when I rake leaves she'll be 20 months and probably wanting to jump in the leaves. It will be different, for sure. We might make some pretty cards or something with the leaves, or at the very least look at them together and enjoy the pretty colors. I am loving this journey of motherhood, that's for sure.
