Park Life

Finally warm weather!!
Already at 16 degrees at 9:30 am, Declan and I headed down to City View Park to meet Grandma (aka Popette) for some outdoor playtime.

Declan was pretty happy about the huge park. He ran up and down the ramp of the play structure repeatedly and he went down the big slides. Only took one big tumble on the structure (kid walks straight off steps) so overall pretty good time.




When he saw a girl about 8 fall down he approached her and asked "you ok?" He can be a sensitive guy.
He also screamed and cried every time he had to give another child back their toys or ball.

After playing on the structure for about an hour we headed onto the soccer field to kick around the ball. I brought three of Declan's. Two other children played with his since he didn't want then and yelled at me for even suggesting he might want to. Instead he took another child's soccer ball. When I told him to give it back he cried. The child's mom felt bad so she let him borrow it while her son played with a different one. Team sports should be interesting.

Grandma was kicking the ball with Declan for a little while, then I got him to run a little further down the field with me before...Surprise!!! Daddy got to leave work early and he found us at the park. So Daddy got to kick the ball with Declan for a little bit before we decided to head home for lunch ad Declan's nap. 

Now if the weather holds we can have lots more outdoor time for Declan.
