Feather/Leaf

Last night as Xander and I were taking our daily post-daycare walk around Luciana's neighborhood, we saw a feather on the sidewalk. I showed it to Xander and told him that birds have feathers instead of hair. He informed me that I was wrong, and that this item comes from a tree. He pointed to a nearby tree, bare of leaves for the winter, and asked me to put it back on the tree. I smiled and tucked the feather into the bark of the tree at my eye level. He told me that the feather needed to be higher, up in the branches of the tree. He did seem to understand that Momma isn't tall enough to put it all the way up there, and accepted a compromise: I put the feather as high as I could reach.
