Changes & Parks

Sorry for all the changes in the appearance of this blog lately. I've been trying to figure out what I want it to look like so I keep trying things out. I should have one look pinned down soon, so bear with me until then. 

On another note, we've been enjoying more nice weather today. Connor and I went to the park near the commissary (military grocery store) for a little while before we went grocery shopping. It was right near the water, in a wooded area, and empty. We hadn't been there before, so it was nice to be the only ones to enjoy it. 

My favorite part was that they had a toddler play area. The slides were a bit shorter and the climbing things were chunkier; less of a chance for him to fall through. This didn't stop him from tackling the big play area anyway. He wanted to go down the fireman's pole and tackle the big slides. 

My little crazy man. 

Yet somehow, the wobbly bridge proved too scary for him. I had to hold his hand across it once, and then give him reassurance from the sidelines the next couple times. I can't quite make sense of what scares him and what doesn't. I know he doesn't share my fear of heights though. If he's anything like his father, I know he'll only get more adventurous.

Focus

So, I've been thinking that I need to figure out exactly what I want to talk about in this blog. I have a lot of things running through my head but don't think I want to talk about all of them here. I thought it might be better to focus on one specific topic. At least most of the time.

 

After much consideration, I decided to focus on my daily schedule. I know that doesn't sound very exciting, but with my son no longer in daycare, I want to make sure he still has things that stimulate him and educate him every day. 

So starting tomorrow, I'll talk about what activities we do and anything else that relates to him. Hopefully, this will be helpful to others hoping to figure out just what to do every day with a little one. 

See you tomorrow!
