Isn't she the cutest even when she's all messy!?
Since it's been a couple of months since I posted I'm going to be doing a little catch up. This picture was taken after Melia's first attempt eating yogurt all by herself. She decided that she no longer wanted help eating and was going to do it all on her own.
These pictures are the end result.
When we moved into our place it didn't have a yard yet. Me and my kids were anxiously awaiting the day for them to lay sod and it finally came on our one good spring day. We were able to enjoy it for that one day and then again a couple months later when summer decided to show up and we're definitely still enjoying it now.
It's a little on the small side but it's better than we had before which was nothing. It's nice to have a place to relax and enjoy being outside without being on display for the world to see. We got lucky to be on the outer borders of the property because we have a brick wall along the back and one side and then post a fence on the other side so only one neighbor can see into our yard. Those with a house in the middle of the property has a post fence all around so they have no privacy.
One drawback though is that edging on the right. It's about two feet off the ground and my kids love to walk on it, including Melia. I thought once they put the gate on the fence I can let Melia loose and she can play outside without me having to constantly supervise...Well, I was wrong. She has no fear and she'll climb up on that and walk on it back and forth regardless if I'm there or not. But again I'm grateful that we have a yard our kids can enjoy.
