At the playground

Little has been enjoying the Fall weather. 

We have been making regular visits to the playground. 

She used to only love the slides, but she is a "big" girl now, so she has branched out.

Since she was a tiny baby, Little has never been a fan of the swings, but this last week she decided Baa (her friend the Sheep) liked the swings, and since Baa liked the swings then maybe Little should try them too. Here she is pushing Baa. 

It turns out she likes the swings, but she really only likes to sit on the swing; however, she does not want to be pushed.

 Instead she wants Mommy and Baa to sit along with her in the swings, but neither of us is allowed to swing either. Can you say bossy? 

 She can go up the stairs on her own

 It has been fascinating to see her confidence develop and grow a bit more with each playground visit. She is cautious, but still adventurous. When we go to playgrounds that have different play sets for young and older children, we always start in the younger playground, but she always ends up wanting to play with the older children.

"Weee" Time

Little had a blast with all her buddies

What a gorgeous morning!
We joined a group of fun ladies (and their toddlers) for a playdate at the playground.

Walking up the slide

Last week all Little wanted to do was walk up the slide.  

She now has it figured out!

1st: Up the stairs

2nd: Sit

3rd: Down the slide
"Weee"

I was pretty impressed that she was
comfortable going up these stairs

Everything that goes up, must come down

Every time Little goes down the slide, I say "Weee." Now she knows I will say it, so she says it herself. She has started related having fun with "Weee" and now whenever she is having fun she says "Weee" (even if she is not on the slide.)

"Weee"

As part of the playdate we received
 Method samples and coupons :)
