Quick Snap Saturday!

 

Sneaking Outside!

 

Look who is sneaking outside onto the balcony!  Balcony Pipe! Oh she would love to become balcony Pipe! We don't allow her on the balcony unless extremely guarded by us.  I think in her 18 months of life she's been on the balcony a total of 4 times. This afternoon she racked up trip #4 outside.

I was taking pics and left the door open slightly for the boys. Out came little Ms. Piper wanting to check out all the action too. I went ahead and let her, as I watched her close. She was simply sniffing things. She walked over to my plants for some sniffing action. She also took turns following her brothers. We weren't out there long, I watched to make sure she didn't get too close to the railing. That's the part that makes me most nervous, she's small enough to slip through the railing. Scary!

Needless to say this will not become a regular occurrence because it makes me too nervous but once in awhile when I can focus on her or when both of us are out on the balcony I think it's good for her to have some exposure to the great outdoors. It's kind of like watching a toddler around water, don't divert your eyes for a moment.  She doesn't understand how high up we are I'm sure of it. And she doesn't understand one wrong move and there's nothing below to catch her. So yes, it's very similar to watching a small child around water or a small child playing in the front yard.
