Mud and puddles,……………..
This morning, DS got so bored that he was tugging me while I was doing dishes. He was pointing to the door, which is a sign that he wants to go outside. After getting jackets and shoes on, we headed out the door and DS was smiling because he needed a breath of fresh air. And yes, I did need a breath of fresh air, too, now that the weather is WARM. We walked to the free newspaper box for a new issue that just came out last night in certain areas of the city, but our area box was still EMPTY. Oh well, so we proceeded on the walkway towards the park playground. DS was too busy exploring so I have to keep my patience since he haven’t seen the changes of nature since last fall from the stroller. As we walked towards the playground, DS walked right into the mud, as he did not have the rubber boots on hand (we have a hand-me-down pair, but it was a size too large, and we could not find the right sized ones available in the city) and he was smiling that he was stomping it. But there were so much to look around the playground, and he could not help but explore around the ground. He ran up and down the ramp of the jungle gym, as well as spin the steering wheel at the top of the ramp. He then walked over to the park benches and studied them for a bit, and wanted to sit on one of them. It was a nice break from walking for a minute when he climbed down from the bench and ran through the muddy sandbox area. But suddenly, he stopped and yawned. I knew he was getting tired from a nice day that we walked home. He had his lunch and napped for two hours. I say it was a nice feeling getting outside for fresh air. But I am still itching to walk as usual to get my energy back. Hopefully, tomorrow, with DH off for the weekend, we all will go for walks.
