We have had some beautiful weather here in Illinois. So we are practically living outside, because we never know what the weather will be next week. Since it has been so nice, we have made many trips to the park this week. We went to the park today and my little girl got her feelings hurt. My Avi is a tough cookie in many ways, but when we were leaving the park I knew she wasn't herself. I kept asking her what was wrong and she finally told me when we got home from the park, with tears in her eyes, "The girls at the park called me a baby!" With lots of tears we talked through the issue and she is all better now, but I have never seen her react in that way. I so want to protect her from any hurt, but hurt is apart of growing up.
