outside fun with OCD

Today Anna♥Kate and I played outside for a little while. She always finds it entertaining to pick the grass and attempt to get it to her mouth before I say, "no!". Usually I win, but sometimes she catches me off guard...usually when I have the camera to my eye. It's fun to see her enjoying nature. She loves being outside. She loves crawling in the grass (as far as I can tell) and if you know me you know it's hard for me to relax enough to let her do that. What if she stains her cute pants? Or gets a bug bite? Or a rash? Or poked by a stick? Or sneaks a bug or leaf as her next snack?The possibilities are endless and most of the time I'd rather not try. But I'm trying really hard to let my kid be a kid and not an OCD weirdo like her momma. I'm not SUPER OCD but I definitely have some characteristics that drive even myself nuts.


I'm even OCD when it comes to posting pictures. I can't put horizontal pictures in the same row with vertical or vertical with horizontal...however you want to put it. I just can't. They have to be the same size and shape...no matter what. If they aren't, they must take a place somewhere else. Absolutely ridiculous, I know...but I like things to look good. Hopefully someone out there appreciates that. :)
