Amelia loves to be outside and a few weeks ago figured out how to step down into the garage, the next thing she realized was that she was then free...the garage door was up and out she ran. Unfortunately, she didn't have shoes on and I spoiled her fun by picking her up and taking her back into the house, mind you, only to put her shoes and coat on. The tears stopped when I opened the front door and helped her get down the step to the garden path. Before I knew it, she was off, running down the street. The only thing that stopped her was the neighbour playing basketball with his dad and then being introduced to the little boy's cat. (The same neighbour boy that sang "boom-chica-bow-wow" to her when she was a tiny baby - another story for another day perhaps).
On her travels she collected a rock, touched the moss in the cracks of the concrete path, fell and scraped her hand a little, and almost picked up a very undesirable gift that a dog had left behind (gross!)
After a little while, she still wasn't interested in coming home, so I ended up carrying her kicking and screaming back to the house for dinner.She's my outdoors girl!

Madeleine is the same way. She will say "Go" and try to open the front door. She will throw a nice big tantrum when we try and bring her inside. They are so cute exploring the world.
I love the little smile on her face (that says it all)! Just let me roam free with no restrictions and I'll be in 7th heaven. Go for it, Amelia, just stay out of the street!!
