Are you ok Mama?????

I don't always dress her in blue, but I am not gender specific in her wardrobe, and I like for her to have rough and tumble clothes for outside play and wear so I am not worried about her getting dirty while having fun. Some days she is dressed in all pink.....

Tuks and I went to check the traps by ourselves tonight. I told her stay on the shore while I went in the water with the hip waders to check the traps. At the most we were about 6' from each other. Nothing but three minnows were caught, but the neat thing about tonight was seeing Tuks empathetic and sweet heart. After the third trap I was heading to the other two, and somehow my footing slipped and my left side went into the water flooding my hip wader and drenching my leg ,and arm. I, of course said "crap", and then I righted myself right away since the water is just above freezing. Once I was up, I hear Tuks say "Are you OK Mama??" and I said "yes, Tuks I am OK" she repeated it several more times with a very worried look on her face, and then she said "sorry". I think her way of saying I am sorry it happened. She then followed me along the shoreline making her way through the thick underbrush to make sure I was OK. It was very touching to see her show so much caring when she thought I was in trouble or hurt. It is especially nice since we in the middle of the TERRIBLE TWOS more times than not..LOL
