haven't been up to much lately...

Haven't been up to much lately. Staying home and entertaining Sadie is what I do all day long, but when I feel up for it we go to the park. Parks are the best entertainment for this little girl. I got to sit on the grass in the shade and watch her run around picking up rocks and leaves. Since it was so nice out, there were many other kids there. She was thrilled to stand and watch them, occasionally shrieking at them.

We also met a little boy today who is her age. Sadie wanted to hug him. It turned into a tackle.It resulted in a scraped elbow and tears from her, even though she fell mostly on top of him. The little boy got up like it was nothing. To him, it probably was nothing as he has a 3 year old sister who tackles him on a regular basis. It was cute none the less.

Who even needs swings when you have dirt galore to explore in? We never got near them. She did give me handfuls of dirt to hold. I got almost as dirty as she did.

We killed an hour at the park, which was awesome. Waved goodbye to all the kids, and tearfully made our way home. Once I plunked her into the tub, I saw her scraped up elbow. We fixed her up, and after lunch, headed for bed. I'm sure I'll get a 2.5 - 3 hour nap from her today.

Park is on my wishlist for when we move. We need a park close by  where I can let her run wild.

picnic at the park

 The weather finally cleared up enough to make it picnic worthy at the park. We brought snacks and drinks and chilled on the grass and soaked up the sunshine.

Sadie was driving me a little bonkers this morning, so it was great to let her burn off some energy. She loves being outside, and tore off towards the swings.

I love being outside with these guys.

We got home, and tossed this little girl in the tub to cool down and get the grime off before going for her nap. I've been using the Nourish organic baby wash on her, and I love it because it doesn't bother her super sensitive skin, and she smells like a little coconut afterwards. I never figured that she would be so sensitive regular soaps and creams.

Made my day...

It totally made my day when I got to take Sadie to the park for the first time in 2 months.

Thank you Coley for babysitting and helping us go to the park.



I've so missed doing this.

Day at the Park

It was such a beautiful day today. Sunny and not terribly cold out, so what better way to celebrate it than by taking Sadie to the park.

 I sat her down on the edge of the sandy area and let her sit and watch the kids. She LOVES babies and kids. She sat and watched for all of 10 seconds before squealing "EEEEEEE" at them and flailing her arms around. She was enthralled by them. Just sat and squealed with the biggest grin on her face.

 Then she discovered new things, like sand, and rocks and maple tree seeds. Had to taste everything (as normal). I didn't care that she was tasting things, as long as it wasn't big enough for her to choke on. 

Once the swing was free, we plunked her in and she has the time of her life. She laughed and screamed, and loved it. At first I thought she was just laughing at a little girl that was near by, but that girl left and she was still laughing when Tony was pushing her.

 I'm so happy that there is a park near by with lots of kids. She will be going to the park a lot this spring and summer.
