My Declan Weekend

Since Daddy was visiting friends out of town I got more Declan time to myself. This morning we hung out, watched some Phineus and Ferb and got in breakfast before heading out for some groceries. Not an exciting morning but still awesome that I got so much time with my little guy.

After Declan's afternoon nap he woke up to see Daddy was home. I still had plans with Mr. D so I bundled him up and Daddy got out the stroller for us. Declan and I were off to the park for some playtime and to meet up with friends.

Soon as we arrived at the park Declan wanted on the swings. I used to put him in the swing and hope he liked it. Now that he communicates better I KNOW he likes it. So much so that any time I tried to get him off the swing he'd scream. 

Overheard another kid ask his Mom "Why is he yelling?"

"Because he doesn't want off the swing."

That was an understatement.

So he was on the swing easily for a half hour. Unbelievable. He just loves it. I put up my open palm and told Declan to 'high five' me and of course he obliged. Then he came back with a 'fist bump' when he swung back. We were having a good time.

Declan's little buddy Owen showed up so he got in some friend play time. Picked up lots of pebbles and wood chips. 

Then, as I was debating heading home because it was getting cold, Declan crawled away...all the way...back to the swings for another round. Good times at the park!
