We went to the park one day last week (just getting around to posting these). Caleb had been begging to go, but it is so hot, so we got out there nice and early before it was miserable. Caleb played on the actual playset about half the time. All of the slides had big puddles of water at the bottom, and I didn’t have anything to wipe them off. He moved over the a big pile of dirt at the side of the playground and was content to make up his own play over there as long as we could stay. He never has really been that into playgrounds.

Peeved because I wasn’t complying with my assigned seating position, I was taking pictures instead.

Miffed because I made him get on this, thinking he would love it. Not so much.

The perfect slide in his mind, one that is made to climb up!

Lip poked out about who knows what

Not loving this big boy swing (first time)

Studying the sign language sign

“G”

Going for “E” which ended up being an “A” They are very similar, just the position of your thumb changes

Playing in the dirt with a stick rather than the huge playground equipment

Making another face, noticing a trend here?!

I know this is probably bad . . . but I LOVE the demanding pouty-face pictures. And his interest in the sign language um sign (ironic) is fascinating! Les’s friend Danielle taught her daughter sign lang. before she could talk. Les said it was so crazy to see Hanley signing . . . she would repeatedly ask for “cookies” and “more.”

Oh, and I see he is wearing his dirt repelling “sandals.” Too funny! He doesn’t want to get his feet dirty but two months ago he was splashing in mud puddles

Too cute! I love the faces he makes!

Puddles on the slide, beware. My parents vacation community has a few playgrounds. At one particular visit I was pushing my daughter while watching the little boy make the climb to the slide. Suddenly I hear a huge swoosh…….apparently the bottom of the slide was covered in water. So much so that when he came down it looked like a log flume!

Always check!
