I just looked out the window and my daughter is sitting in our backyard's Texas style tree (meaning small) having a snack and reading a book. Life is funny. That is exactly what I used to do when I was a young girl, the only difference is that the trees I climbed back home were larger and thus I probably scared my parents more when I climbed up them, especially with a book in hand. Bean is only a few feet off the ground, so a fall would not even scratch her, let alone require a bandaid.

I still like to read outside, so I guess not much changes and all that reading and sitting in trees must have been passed down in the genes!
