The Park

It's finally spring time here in The Lou. Wednesday was a particularly spectacular day, so I took a few hours off work and surprised Robbie at daycare. It was time for his first trip to the park!

As Robbie only started walking a few weeks ago, he'd never had the opportunity to walk on soft ground before. He was NOT a fan. He just stared at the ground and whined.


I drug him around by his hand for a few steps until he seemed to accept that the ground wasn't actually going to open up and swallow him hole. Then he got the hang of it.

He wandered around and found a big tic-tac-toe board that was quite fun.



Then we headed to the swings. The little girl next to him was very interesting.



HEY! Look how high she's swinging. HOW COOL IS THAT?


At that point, he swung a little bit and enjoyed himself, but it was short lived. He wanted down. As you can see in the pictures, they were not infant swings, so when he wanted down, he started to slide out of the seat and I had to grab him. At that point, he wanted to be held and was just finished with the park so we headed home.


Where he enjoyed a small snack.
