Today JD found a baby bird in our driveway. It was the highlight of the day!
Poor baby bird! Piper just wanted to hug it and hold it tight!
In fact she may have even kissed it a time or two. Probably not the most sanitary thing to do, but well, the girl does what she wants to do!
The kids made it a hiding place in the tall grass besides our tree. They wanted to keep it safe from the neighborhood cats, which unfortunately there is a lot of! They even gave it a Dr. Pepper cap full of water so it would be able to get a drink or take a bath.
Cue the neighborhood kids. They all had to come and check it out. We argued over a name. I wanted Fred. Brooklyn wanted Ferdinand! Tyson wanted Harry Potter (ha, ha, ha). But we ended up naming the birdie Daphne. It's what all little birdies get named at our house.
Ahh, Tyson is to cute for words.
I had to include this picture. We laid on the grass today and watched the clouds go by once we got the birdie settled. It doesn't get any more real than this. Me and my make up free face and unwashed hair. Piper with chocolate on her face. Life is beautiful, even when it is an ordinary day!
Hopefully the little birdie flew away. He sure was trying! He was gone tonight when we got home from baseball games. I hope he found his way home!
