There's that shadow again
I took Ethan to the park today for the first time this spring, and he couldn't get enough of it! I had put him on the swings in the fall, but he was only 6-8 months old so he wasn't walking around yet. Today was the first time he walked around outside and he loved being free. I also had a blast because it was just so darn cute watching him walk on grass in hard soled shoes! He was a little unsteady at first, especially while watching his shadow, but he quickly got rollin and didn't stop! The only problem was that there were mud and puddles, and apparantly they were the most interesting and inviting. Luckily he isn't a very strong-willed little guy, because I just had to turn him around and he'd walk the other way for about 30 seconds, then do a one-eighty and try again, but after a couple times of that, he'd get the picture and walk the right direction. At least he didn't throw any fits though. I am SO looking forward to summer when the ground will be a little cleaner and Ethan will be a little more efficient on his feet, it's going to be great! I'm also really looking forward to playing in the kiddie pool in the back yard - I love having a toddler, it's so much fun!

hey! what happened to your favorite childhood memory?!?!? Don't you want Ethan to experience the same and be covered from head to toe in mud, water and grass?:)~ We still have SO MUCH snow here, it's ridiculous...it just snowed two days ago! I can't wait to take Kallie to the park, but we're going to have a while to go!
I love having a toddler, TOO! Its a blast - but exhausting, too. Looks like you guys had a fun afternoon out. Ethan is SO CUTE!! Annika and I have been outside for a walk everyday this last week...she doesn't so much enjoy sitting in her stroller anymore, she loves pushing her stroller on the sidewalk. :)
