Flowers

Flowers are currently Helena's all-encompassing focus.  She discovered dandelions in a park three weeks ago, and since then there is just nothing better!  Really - today she practically fell out of her stroller because her mother hadn't strapped her in, which meant she could reach out and try to pick flowers while we moved along.

We went and saw the cherry blossoms in High Park this year with friends, and lucky for us, there were a few limbs that were very low.  Helena & Nora had a ball.

John brought home a few beautiful Gerbera daisies for me.  I love them but Helena may actually enjoy them more, since she has asked to smell them at least two dozen times! 

So this past weekend we went to the Allan Gardens Conservatory and surrounded Helena with flowers.  The flowers being right at her height made it simply perfect for her.

Yet her attention still regularly went to the dandelion she was carrying.
