wading through motherhood with all my ducks in a row

all by himself

Today, for the first time in recent memory, it was undeniably beautiful outside. The sun was shining, and the thermometers pushed past 60 degrees. So we did what every other vitamin D-starved person did and dragged ourselves out of hibernation to enjoy it.

It turns out that, since we'd last been to the playground, Matthew grew up. For the first time in his life, he wanted to leave my side and run and explore and play. And he didn't want any help doing so.

 And...repeat! Over and over and over....

Except for maybe when Caleb offered to push him on the swings.

How funny that he got all those skills and who knew until you went to a playground, right? :) And isn't that the best little playground for that age?

Totally love that you still have metal slides in NY. I haven't seen one since who knows when. Glad you're getting some sunshine out there.
