Outside in the dark

Hello there, I'm glad you came to visit me. I had an adventure today. It was fun and scary at the same time. Kind of like a rollercoaster - have you been on a rollercoaster before? They are a lot of fun, but they are also scary. I don't want to go on a rollercoaster every day, but every now and then a rollercoaster is great! Well, today I went outside into the back yard. It's full of fun things out there. My mommy doesn't like to work in the garden, so there are a lot of tall plants that just grow wherever they like. That means lots of fun places for me to hide and lots of nice smells for me to sniff. Here are some pictures of me in the garden. In some of them I'm hiding. Tell me if you can find me!

When I went outside it was daytime, and I stayed outside until after it was dark. I stayed outside really late!! My daddy called for me to come in, but I pretended I didn't hear him because I wanted to keep playing!

At first I wasn't scared at all. Even though it wasn't daytime anymore, it was still light outside. That's called twilight. In some parts of the world, there is no twilight, but in other parts it can last for hours. How long is twilight where you live?

As the light kept on fading, the day turned slowly into night. You know what was silly? Even though the light kept fading, it seemed to me that it was suddenly dark! I wasn't paying very good attention.

When it was completely dark, I got a little bit scared. I'm glad my daddy left a window open so I could jump inside. I ran over to him and he was so glad to see me! He knew I was outside playing, so he wasn't worried. He was glad to see me because it was time for me to go to bed! But first I got some cuddles. I love to be me because I get cuddles every day from my mommy and my daddy.

Maybe I was a little bit naughty when I pretended I couldn't hear my daddy, but he knows that if he used his 'serious' voice I would have obeyed him right away. And sometimes it's good to get a little bit scared by yourself so that you know better next time.

I love to play in the garden, and I love getting cuddles! I had a great day today. What kind of day did you have?

With love from Biggie G!
