At the beginning of the week the kid told me she wanted to go to the park – preferably a park with sand. We drove to a part a little ways away and we played for a good hour, the two of us. There was sand, a great slide, a little house, a steering wheel, lots of stuff to climb through and climb on.

There was also an angled wall with a rope to help you climb up. She tried. She tried and tried, but she couldn’t get up that wall. I showed her how, and I helped her and we got up together, but as much as she tried she couldn’t do it alone.

Yesterday, we took a picnic and her Daddy back to the same park to play before bedtime.

First try.
