Torrie discovers mud!

Torrie discovered mud for the first time the other day. Torsten had made a nice mud puddle in our backyard with the hose outside. She wandered out and began splashing around in it and had a great time. When I discovered her, she was covered from head to toe with mud. After she had her fun, we brought her inside, gave her a bath, and put her in her pajamas. Unknown to me, the back door had been left cracked open slightly. She managed to go outside again in her clean pajamas and was right back in the mud puddle when I found her!

Torrie reminded me of myself at her age when she ran away the other day. Our front door was open and the phone rang, so I was tied up for several minutes on the phone (we don't have a cordless one here). After I got off the phone, Torrie was nowhere to be found. I went outside and looked all over our yard, but couldn't see her. Then one of the missionary ladies here came walking up to our yard with Torrie in tow. She had been driving her car down the street by our house and saw Torrie running down the road, so she stopped to bring her back home.
