4yo had his friend over for a playdate today. She was excited to find he has several costume rings (she has none). He gave her two of them to take home to keep, and while all us adults were like "IS THIS OKAY ARE YOU SURE", he was like, obviously, she has none, I have many, I am sharing. Proud mom.

I posted this one earlier this month, but it is perfect for today's #BirdOfTheDay #PetalsandPerches. #FrontRangeBirds #EastCoastKin From April 2026
