Freedom for a Little Girl

People ask me one of two questions.

Is she permanently attached to your hip?  (intonation:  incredulity, alarm, sympathy, friendly mockery)

Is she permanently attached to the stroller?  (intonation:  amazement, maybe envy-she will sit without complaining for a while)

Well, people, today the girl was set  free!!!

This will be proof to all the naysayers, those who doubt, or who just can't believe it's true at all, that I do put my baby girl down.  And you will be shocked at where she ends up.  Only because her mother is who she is.  Have fun, she did! 

She headed out, exploring...

She then went over to the playground...

Ironically, one of the last things we did on this venture was swing.  Although her freedom was inhibited, I think she ended up liking the swing.  I would ask if she wanted to get down, and she would grab on and say,"No!"
