Independent Eden

Eden is so fearless. She will just walk away and go explore. We were at the park the other day with the Prices and Mascaros. Eden decided she was just fine on her own. Rachel and Jess asked how far she would go. I’m afraid we do not know because she always goes so far away that we have to go get her before we find out. I am glad she is self-confident and feels so secure and independent but it is getting more difficult to catch up to her. She is fast! She had a wonderful time finding the mud puddles and getting thoroughly splashed with mud.

Earlier in the day I had started to mow the backyard lawn. Eden played for a bit on the deck and then she went inside. I didn’t worry since we have made the house so kid-friendly so I finished up and then spotted my neighbor Linda and chatted with her for a bit.

When I did go check on Eden I went inside and gasped! It shocked her and she probably would have cried had I not burst out laughing. She had gotten into my unpacked suitcase from our trip this weekend and found my makeup. She had lipstick and mascara all over her face and head. It was a good thing she still has two eyeballs after her attempts to use mascara like I do. It was an absolutely fantastic mess!
