[life] is a morning ritual
Every morning Maliea goes outside. One of the first things she does is go outside. She’s been doing this since she started walking at 9 months. No matter the weather, no matter how early she gets up. I have video of her and Merrik outside in freezing cold weather when I could barely handle being out with them. Even when it’s cold she loves to go out and play in the water. Her first word besides Dada was “outside.” She’s my kinda girl.
