Park Outing
We decided to try out a new park in the area this morning since it was so lovely outside. It's mid-August and we are in highs of the low 80's, and we've had rain coming through every few days so it was nice and cloud covered as well.
The kids and I always enjoy our time at the local parks, especially now that school is getting to be back in session here. Edmond schools aren't quite back in school yet, so there were a few bigger kiddos there. I am so proud of my son. Phrases I overheard him using: "Excuse me." "May I please get through?" and my favorite "Can you please wait for my sister to be done?" I won't lie...my mommy heart melted. Not only is he sweet and respectful of others, but he stands up for his little sister AND was behaving more politely than every single big kid there. And you know what...as he used his pleases and excuse me's the big kids began to say it too. What an amazing kiddo he is!
Lorelai braved some other intimidating areas of the playground. Gabriel kept getting stuck with fear on this curved ladder, but Lorelai tackled it on the first try! Way to go, Lorelai! No fear.
This structure was REALLY tall. I was impressed with both kids for climbing up the two stories of ladders to slide down the bigger tube slides.
