oh the places we go!



In our complex we have a playground with swings and a jungle gym for toddlers and a separate area for older kids.. I never gave it too much thought.  Recently, I was thinking that she could play there when she is around one year old.  Then on a walk with Bridget last weekend, I went by the playground and we looked around.. I realized that some of the swings were the seat swings that she could sit in.  Since she sits up with minimal support, I thought I'd give it a try.. I put her in the swing while holding on and gently swong- (is that a word??), her in a circular direction.. well, she really liked it.. she was not giggly, but was really mellow..
 Later, I took her down the little slide, I held onto her the whole way down.. she really like this..  so, now I am really appreciating that we have a playground.. it's so convenient..  just steps away.
so, now I'll be looking around for other playgrounds and seeing what kind of equipment they have.. funny how I look at the world differently now..
