Whip Cream Park Day

Declan and Mommy went for a nice long walk today.  Walked all the way to Metro to grab some water and a small chocolate eclair.  Then we continued over to the splash pad so little Declan could watch some older kids play around in the water.  He's so curious and will watch the kids play for such a long time.  There was a little boy around 2 years old that kept running through the water and I told Declan I was excited for when he would be big enough to run through the sprinklers himself.  I promised him that next summer he'll be big enough and I can go in with him so he's safe.

We then headed home about halfway when we found another new park - Meighan Park.  Mommy laid out our picnic blanket so little Declan could get out of the stroller for a bit and stretch out.  This also allowed for eclair time.  Mommy took the top off the eclair because it's chocolate and Declan is too little for chocolate yet.  No complaining - glad to eat it.  Then I presented the remainder, the thick swirly whip cream to Declan.  He grabbed a handful immediately and proceeded to wipe it down my leg.  He was enjoying squishing it in his hand.  I gave him a little to try eating.  It mostly just sat on his lips as he really wasn't interested in it as food but more as a new toy of sorts.  It was all over his shirt, his legs, his diaper (he was pantless due to diaper change...and I just thought with the heat and his shorts having a proper waistband that he would be more comfortable pantless) and he liked it.  Nothing like some time at the park with the wind in your fluffy baby hair and whip cream all over.
