It was an absolutely gorgeous day yesterday so Dylan and I took advantage of the fantastic weather and headed out to the park for some play time and lunch.

He was completely taken by the daisies in the grass and wanted to pick, pick, pick them! Sweet boy that he is, he even picked a few for a couple of little girls we saw, too. One of them was crying and when Dylan heard her, he paused to see what her sitch was, then he bent down, picked a flower and brought it to her!!! It made the little girl’s moment — she stopped her crying and said, “thank you”!!

I also think it made her grandma’s moment, too; we had seen them earlier when we were picnicking on the steps down to the yacht harbor. The grandma had lamented to me that she didn’t think her daughter (the little 2-year old’s mom) took her out enough to socialize with other kids, but what she’s discovered is that little kids are not all that nice and her granddaughter was experiencing a lot of rejection. I hope Dylan’s small gesture helped change her mind…at least a little!

On our way out of the park, Dylan also picked a flower for another little 2-year old girl who was also admiring the flowers in the grass…and, of course, he picked several for me, too (lucky me!)!
