A Day In The Park

trying to climb the slides...he spent a lot of time working really hard here...not really getting anywhere here though...
andys friend Noah, hes a happy little guy.
he liked playing here, under the equipment
going to the tot playground..
he thought he could climb the slide...
taking a bath after dinner with noah.
Walking to the park. the area here is so pretty.
he loved climbing these stairs

going down the slide. he LOVED that.

So here are some pictures from andys 2nd time at the park, the first time i forgot my camera. Its about a 10 to 15 minute walk from our place, good exercise. and he loves it there, he loves exploring and climbing and playing with the mulch wood chips, and watching the other kids. We met my friend Heather and her little boy Noah there. He's cute, and about 5 months older than andy. they play together pretty well, sometimes though they fight over toys because neither is used to having to share, or having someone else around to take their toys. when noah was at our house, andy was being really possessive of his block box, laying his arms across the top so noah could neither get blocks or play with the beads on the side...
Also on the docket today, i was going to make andy "cry it out" and see if i can do that again. but i chickened out. he falls asleep usually really quickly if i hold him, do you think its worth doing the cry it out method or should i just continue to hold him until he falls asleep (he falls asleep really pretty quickly, like 10 minutes i bet). last night though he woke up when dan got home and was REALLy excited to play with his daddy (i can't blame him, he hardly sees the guy anymore). so he was so wound up he wouldn't go back to sleep until like 12:30. but then he "slept thru the night" until 7. to me, thats hardly sleeping thru the night because the night is half over! it was fun though to see him and dan play, they are so cute together. andrew was learning to run, he got so excited he was running around, he's still kinda funny looking because hes never ran before, but it was funny. so enjoy the pics.
