Red Park Success

On Saturday morning, I took the kids to the nearby red park to play while Zac did yardwork. Taking the kids to playgrounds is becoming vastly more pleasurable as they require less and less intervention.  Simon is also making a lot of progress in bravery and skill. For example, at this playground, he eventually climbed up the curly slide (with lots of encouragement from Alice) and up the red ladder.

Another fun moment at the park was when some boys around Alice's age showed up. Alice said to one, "Guess what I'm going to be for halloween."

The boy looked up at her and said with contempt, "A princess."

Alice proudly said, "No, I'm going to be Wonder Woman." They immediately hit it off and started playing superheroes together. (This means they run around the playground chasing imaginary villains and blasting them with imaginary powers.)
