the Nest

I was out in the yard working with Jerrica there by my side.  We have a nest in our front pine tree, and I noticed the momma bird fly off her nest.  I thought it would be the perfect moment to lift Jerra up to peek in the nest at the baby birds.  I “was trying” to be a cute mom with Jerrica in taking time out to show her the nest.

Well, the nest was up high in the tree.  I had to lift her and balance on my toes.  Needless to say, I lost my balance and Jerrica fell into the needles of the tree.  It turned into a moment of “I don’t EVER want to look in a nest EVER again, mom!”  She got hurt and I felt awful.

We came inside and she had to have an “Injury Ball”.  That’s what she has been calling these “Energy Balls” we have been making.

I think I better stick with showing her wildflowers, instead of nests in pine trees.  :)
