Keeping Scarlett safe at school is always on my mind and I've always tried to eliminate as much stress as I can on her teachers when it comes to things like field trips, jog-a-thons, and field days.
Because of this I've had the privilege of joining Scarlett on every field trip she has gone on. (Well maybe her Daddy took her to one) We've seen several performances, played in pumpkin patches, visited wildlife preserves, but this years took the cake. What was described by Scarlett as "the best field trip EVER", turned into a learning experience for me as well.
I was reminded time and time again as we hiked 3 hours through a fairly skinny tretorous trail that Scarlett really has learned how to navigate through hiking, climbing, etc in a safe manner, making cautious decisions but still feeling like she has the freedom to explore at her own will. As her peers kept tripping and even falling in the stream...She cautiously proceeded, carefully checking her surroundings.
We had such a fun time on this field trip. We got to learn, explore, navigate! I love watching Scarlett feel completely unrestricted. I'm so grateful I get to accompany her on trips like these that given her such freedom.
