Another day in the park


 The park again! We did branch out a bit and found new things to do. Watching a toddler discover the world brings the pleasure of little things back in to focus.  

A bouquet in the making

Erika has drawn hopscotch squares on the walkway to their front door.  When Bianca saw something similar at the park she knew just what to do.    This child's play has an ancient history.  Check here for the history of this game.  http://www.streetplay.com/thegames/hopscotch.htm .


 A favorite vantage point for watching others on the play equipment.  Soothing back and forth, gentle breeze on the face, and the joys of people watching.  Bianca could do this for hours. 
Bianca insisted that I join her this time. "Nana sit swing".  And so I did.

Interesting about Hopscotch. I was always a failure at it.
I can't believe how big Bianca is getting. Do I detect lack of a diaper bulge? Has there been another breakthrough?

Progress being made.. and I was surprised and happy to see that children are still playing the same games. Although I always wonder what happened to jump rope which was so popular in 'our day'.
