Adam's First Slide

After a hard morning, exhausted Abbey finally fell asleep close to 11am...Todd already half asleep on the couch...Adam was restless as I believe this had literally been the first morning he didn't go somewhere in two weeks. I decided to take him for a walk. It was nice as I don't get the chance to do something one-on-one out of the house with either much. I decided to walk him and Bailey over to the fort. We walked around the baseball diamond as Adam watched the big kids play. It got hotter and hotter...but when we got to the little kid playground as we were headed back Adam smashed his little face right up to the chain link. I took him in and he wasn't interested in climbing through the tube. I took him and placed him on top of the slide and slid him down, holding on. He didn't say anything, but I could tell he liked it! We did it again and I got the smile. So I did it again and his whole face lit up...first time on a slide!

He was so tired walking home he actually put his arms up for me to carry...did I mention during this whole 45 minute excursion he refused to let go of his garbage truck?

  1. So sweet. I can just see his face as he discovered the feeling of slipping down with his mommy by his side.

  2. I bet he's gonna love the water slides at Thunder Island and next summer would be a great time, as they have the kiddie area. :)
