Tree Hugger

Last week, on a particularly windy day, I found Grace in front of the window watching a tree that was blowing back and forth. She looked at me very concerned and said, "Oh no, Mom that baby tree is going to blow over!" I assured her that it wasn't that windy and that the tree would be fine. That wasn't enough for her...she insisted that she do some thing about it. So she tied her blanket around it's trunk and set some of her favorite animals next to the tree so it wouldn't be "scared." She felt much better afterward and continued to watch the tree through the window, but this time she didn't worry about her new friend's well being...he had been taken care of!
