Playground

Anna loves going to the park and playing on the playground. When she first sat up, we took her to the park and put her on the baby swings, and she absolutely loved it! Now she enjoys climbing to the highest point she can manage and peering down on everyone that passes by. She also loves to walk back and forth on the suspension bridge and 'driving' the car wheels.

She has gone down on the slides a couple of times but this doesn't seem to be her favorite activity. Perhaps because it means she has to climb back up again and it's a bit of an effort for her to do so, or maybe she just doesn't enjoy the sensation. The look on her face, though, was priceless. I'll have to remember to bring a camera the next time we head to the park.

One of the first times we went to the park this spring, she tried to walk onto the suspension bridge from the standing platform. I had to help her on, but once she got on, she walked back and forth and was thrilled with the way it moved along with her. She even tried to jump up and down a little to make it move more. She has now managed to get onto the suspension bridge at at least two different playgrounds (some have wider gaps than others). It's so fun watching her conquer something new.

It's rained a lot of this week so we haven't made it to the playground since Friday, but once the weather allows, we'll be back to work on the tube slide!
