A 3-hour park date with him…
can make her feel like this…
We spent 3 hours at one of our favorite playgrounds with Uncle M and Cousin C this morning, and the kids had a blast. Cousin C took a tumble down the tallest twisty slide - like a rock in the dryer, he was, poor thing! But he seemed no worse for wear a bit later. After her swing-nap, BabyGirl wanted to try the same slide, but I wasn’t about to let her go down alone.
This insulted her BabyGirl independence and she tried to climb off my lap as we were sliding. Her shoe caught a bit on the edge of the slide (though we were going slowly enough that I stopped us and fixed the problem right away) and her hip seemed to bother her after that.
So our afternoon at home was a quiet and as-still-as-possible one with much reading aloud (including Ed Young’s Beyond the Great Mountains, which I absolutely love, and Magic Tree House Day Of The Dragon-King) - we’re on the Ancient China chapter in Story of the World 1) and math in bed (she likes to play with the Math-U-See blocks).
I’m spending my spare moments (ha!) sifting through the mountains of clothes in our crawl space / closet. We’ve been getting more hand-me-downs for both kids and since I have to admit that another child (adopted or fostered) could not fit in this tiny house, I’m trying to weed out baby clothes to make room for the yet-to-grow-into boxes. I won’t be online as much until I tackle this project… or cram everything back into the crawl space in despair. I’ll let you know how it goes.

It sounds like a great day.
