Our 1st Picnic

On one of the beautiful days we had not too long ago, Mommy took Brendan on his first picnic to the park with Belle. Unfortunately, Daddy had to work and missed our fun time. While we were there, Mom decided to take off Brendan's socks and shoes to let him get a feel for the grass between his toes. Not such a good idea! Apparently, Brendan does NOT like the feeling of grass under his feet because any time he would crawl past the edge of the blanket he would have the most frightened look on his face and he would cry hysterically. I was too busy being a supportive mom to take a picture of this hilarious reaction but I did get a shot of his little feet. As you can see, they got a little dirty and there was no cheering Brendan up after that. It'll take some time, and lot more practice in the dirt, before he can be rough and tough like his Daddy. For now, Mommy will be there to lay out a blanket and to wipe off his feet. Brendan's favorite part of the day: he figured out that he can keep Belle near him by pulling on her leash...poor Miss Belle. Life sure is different for her these days.
