Today, our playground was bustling with activity from morning until evening. There were 4 birthday parties in a row and Janie inadvertently attending 3 of them just because she was outside playing with Gavin. You can see them playing under the tree (shady part off to the right of the playground).
They used the tree stump as a snail farm. They gathered leaves, tore up small pieces, and “fed” them to the snails that Gavin had brought over.
Here is Janie singing “Happy Birthday” to neighbor Nadia during her party. She welcomed Janie to the party and gave her a cupcake and goodie bag too. I guess it’s understood that if you throw a party at the park that you should have a few extras for the neighborhood kids. Good to know for our party next week…
Peanut also joined in on some of the activity. He also rode the big bumpy slide on his own today for the first time. it was faster than he expected but still managed to make a smooth landing.
The spiral slide is still a bit hit with him too.
At one party, they had a bunch of beach balls out on the lawn. In watching this video, we realized that Peanut is pretty steady on his feet lately. We also love how protective and helpful Janie can be to her little brother.
