One year older obviously makes a big difference for a kid at the park. Last Fall, the girls would stay busy themselves. One would push the other on the swing! They could safely reach all heights and slide alone. I could watch from the sidelines, with Tyler on a blanket. Having already spent two Spring evenings at the park, I realize that we are back in the constant-shadow stage.
Running to be where his sisters are, Tyler now eagerly helps hold down one side of the teetertoter. He has mastered the cycle of short steps up and baby slide down. He has learned the joy of the swings.
Just when I was enjoying the fact that I could talk the girls out of begging me to push at the swings, I realize I'll most likely be there all this season...because, NO, my mobile seventeen month old does not want to get out!
