Playground Bound
Posted By pamelamyers on April 12, 2011
We took Sam to the playground after dinner one night to give her something different to do. There were a bunch of teenagers playing volleyball that totally captured her attention (she kept yelling “ball!” and trying to go over to them). Once we managed to distract her from them, she was happy to of course, swing. She thought it was pretty funny that mommy was swinging too. I think she thought it was a toddler-only activity. I had a blast too!
Daddy decided to swing as well and Sam was thrilled to have the company! We always managed to be on an opposing swing (when she is back, we are front, and vice versa) and she liked passing us by every time.
I love looking at her little grin. There is nothing better than seeing her smiley, happy face having a good time.
Next stop, the sliding board! These particular ones are way to big for her to do alone, so we helped out. She wasn’t scared, but she didn’t seem like she knew quite what was going on. By the second or third run though, she was quietly giggling when she reached the bottom.
The merry-go-round was not such a big hit. She didn’t hate it, but let’s say she wasn’t in love with it either. I think she’s not used to the spinning motion yet. But she’ll get there!
