More Park

G wants more park! More Park! More Park! He chants it! He demands it!

Okay, he is only one and thankfully doesn't demand anything quite yet. But this weather we have been enjoying demands that we be outside to soak it up and G seems pretty happy about that. So back to the park...




Our little toddler really can not get enough of the outdoors these days. Anytime a door opens he sees it as a chance to escape to his favorite place... Outside. He loves it all - drive-way, backyard, and park play. Unluckily, when it is time to go inside the fit begins. A serious fit, legs and arms flailing, a big I don't want to go inside cry and all. It's ugly! Then he sees a ball inside or I get him a snack and he is over it.



These pictures are all from last Sunday. We chalked up the driveway, took a wagon ride to the park and finished it off with a game of hoops and frozen yogurt.



I love the way he always holds on to the sides of the wagon and looks all around!



Watching the big kids play takes real concentration and yes holding your tongue out helps



His first dunk!



Even helped daddy pull the car back into the driveway



For our little family this is as good as it gets!

Fall in the Mound

Fall is here according to the calendar and it actually feels just like fall here in the Mound. We are enjoying the time to play outside with no fear of triple digit temps.

Today G and I ventured out to the park after lunch. That's right people, I said after lunch, not 7:30 in the morning. Since G is walking we aren't limited to just the swings and a few trips down the slide with mom or dad anymore. Although, he does still enjoy a good swing.



He actually goes down the slide by himself. What a big boy!



It seems G, along with every child, has the innate desire to slide down then immediately climb back up.



He wasn't a huge fan of walking on the uneven mulch. After a few steps he kept saying up.



The only bad thing about an afternoon at the park -Unfortunate Slide Static



The shadow of his hair cracks me up! Love this sweet boy and his crazy baby hair!

To the Park

We have been enjoying the unseasonably warm weather this week with some time outdoors. G is a huge fan of the outdoors, but we have been staying pretty cooped up from the cold. This week the warmth has come back and we are taking advantage. Rocking out on the porch and walking to the park. We tried out the swings for the first time and they were a hit! I can't wait until this weather is here to stay for a while, so that we can do this daily.
