Fun New Outings

Lately I've been feeling that Addie and I are getting into a rut - always doing the same activities. So this week we decided to try a couple new things.

Yesterday we went to the Sculpture Garden and had a good time running around, climbing on the sculptures, and having a picnic lunch. I think Addie's favorite part of the day was watching the ducks by the pond. Every time we walked in sight of the "Spoonbridge and Cherry" she would point and shout "ghuck! ghuck!" and we would have to take a break and walk towards the pond and watch the ducks.



Today we went to an indoor park called The Eagles Nest in New Brighton - it was so fun! The best part was they had a section just for toddlers. It had a ball pit, slide, tunnels, reading corner, and a ton of other climbing and activity structures. Addie had a great time... until it got busy. Once the other kids started sitting by her and wanting the same toys she got quite upset. She even pinched a kid 3 times! I kept telling her no, having her apologize, and moving her, but she and that little boy kept ending up wanting the same things at the same time. I just don't know what to do in these situations. There should be a book for Parent/Child Playground Etiquette. A fun encounter at the park was I ran into two women and their boys that were in our Yoga Bonding class last summer. It was fun to see the boys a year later and catch up and see what fun things they've been up to!
