Train Park

This week we've had a LARGE amount of fun being out and about together. Yesterday we met Jen, Dean and Soph down at Yellow Bird. We went with them to the Park and spent the morning swinging, climbing and sliding around the play area. The stairmaster in you had no problem climbing all over the big kids playcastle and you loved the slippery slides. Some of them generated so much static electricity that I was afraid to go within 10 feet of you. Your hair was standing on end and I could hear you crackling, although atleast I think it was crackling. Could have been Barking Ants I guess.....

After you had a big sleep the day got colder. You've had a bit of a cough so we stayed inside until it was time to drop you at mums. On the tram you just aren't happy unless you're swinging from the hand rail or those little green anchor shaped.... hand anchors? (not sure what you call them)

I have to hold you up there of course, but you grab hold with both hands and beam at the other people on the tram while dad holds you in mid air. I can't lift you up too high or you grab hold of the cord that people pull down to let the tram driver know they want to get off at the next stop. And you don't let go of that one. You're no longer happy sitting down.

Today we did some shopping. It was beautiful and warm outside, almost 26 degrees, so right about perfect. We ran around Armadale for a bit. You love the shops. Boy do you love the shops. If you're walking, then every shop gets a little visit. The more steps they have the better too. Up you go. you walk in a few feet and have a look around. Usually you'll wave back at me and say "Bye!!"... although that's what I assume. Given your genetic heritage, and this hadnt occured to me until now, you're probably saying "Buy!!". I'll pay more attention next time I promise.

Ok so, sorry I got sidetracked there. You have a look around and then somebody in the store will talk to you. They're always friendly of course, but once you get some attention you swivel around and shoot back out the door towards me as fast as you can. A big smile on your face the whole time. Its a fun game... the first 10 or so shops. They are all getting to know you though. Everyone loves you.
