Fun Times at the Park

Well Lucas has learned to love the park, which is of great joy to Emma. Usually by the time we are leaving the park Emma is exhausted. Lucas likes to stand at the slide and play with the rocks. When he first started to do it I hated the noise. It was like nails on a chalkboard. Of course he loved playing with the rocks. And it is one of the places where he will pull himself from a sitting to a standing position. Just to see those rocks on the slide. Amazingly enough he has not ingested any rocks, although attempted to once. I don't think he was to fond of their taste or hardness. So he has only tried once. Usually he just likes to make his hands really dusty with them.

Emma is an amazing dog. She will play frisbee while Lucas and I play. She is very good about bringing it back or just laying in the shade when she wants. She never bothers anyone else, but will let others throw her frisbee. Sometimes I worry that people will not like her being there, but once she catches that frisbee out of the air it is entertainment and most people are happy to have there kids entertained by Emma for a while.

Next we head over to the swings. Which he also loves. The swings was where we started in the park. At first I was quite worried he would go head over tea kettle but so far so good. And I push him quite high now. Not where I'm running under him, but I lift him up to chinish level and let him go. It usually gives him big smiles. Then I push and push, while he watches Emma and practices talking. It is very good for all of us. Emma gets to run and Lucas and I get some sunshine and fresh air.

Till Tommorrow
