This felt like a pretty big little moment today 🥹🐾
Griffin’s confidence is growing more and more as he settles in and realises that this is home. ❤️
Today, for the first time, he ventured right down into the backyard all by himself. No following us, no checking that we were right beside him… just Griffin off on his own little adventure.
He wandered around checking out the boundaries, investigated the bee hives 🐝, sniffed his way around the garden and generally had a good stickybeak at everything.
We get quite a few deer wandering through our backyard too, so I’m pretty sure there were LOTS of interesting smells to investigate. 🦌😂
It might not seem like a huge deal, but for a boy who, only a few weeks ago, didn’t really want to be outside unless one of us was with him, it’s lovely to see. 🥹
Every day he seems a little more relaxed, a little more curious and a little more certain that this is his home now too. ❤️
And apparently today he decided the backyard was officially part of his kingdom.
