What a beautiful day! Val and I took the kids to the park today for a picnic, to soak up some sun, and let them play and run to their hearts content. Val was smart enough to bring kites, which all the kids were entralled with. Coley did a great job of flying Rylie’s kite until he was distracted by some other kids bubbles, which then of course he let go of the kite. The wind took the kite down the soccer field. Luckily, Rylie was able to retrieve it. Thanks Ry! Coley has no fear as he climbs up all the different surfaces of the playground. Rylie started the trend of hanging on these parallel bars and dropping to get down one wing of the playground… soon lots of kids (bigger kids) were attempting the same stunt. Well Coley of course had to try too – little stinker. He successfully went from standing to hanging to dropping to the ground. The first time he was a little unsure of how to get down safely, but his determination prevailed and he accomplished the feat. The second and third time were easy once he had done it once. This kid makes me nervous, and I’m not a nervous mom.
