Same fun, different park

For a change of pace we headed down to Lakeside park to check out the playground, ducks and lake. They have a nice selection of playground equipment for various ages and William had to try them all. He also saw people fishing and wanted to as well, so we told him we will have to wait until we go up to G&G's cabin this summer. Our first visit is going to be in July, so it will be a long wait :(

Pictures from the park...







We had William's parent/teacher conferences this week and got a peak into William's daycare world. He is very polite, always says his please's and thank you's. He is very quiet and doesn't say much, but when he does talk he usually copies what an adult is saying. His teacher Joy nicknamed him "Her Little Rainman", oh boy, I hope this is just him practicing his speech!

His other teacher Lisa adores him and wants to take him home with her, and she said she would love to baby sit. Lisa said that day she said "Come on Sweetie" to him and then later he said "Come on Sweetie" back to her, making her crack up.

They say developmentally he is doing great, gets along with the other kids but has a tendency to become "Joy's Best Friend" (term for misbehaving toddlers) when he doesn't listen out of stubbornness. He putzes and digs in when shoes or jackets need to be put on, or it's time to clean up. So we have a little work to do at home helping these skills along. He gets left in the group that takes their time and eventually figures out that he is missing out and gets with the picture.

Sounds like they have a lot of fun themes coming up, Teddy bears next week, then Easter, then later on a Circus week. We are really happy with our daycare and William does great going there every morning, so I know he likes it too.

This morning William and I had fun shopping for baby clothes; congrats to Chandra and her family who welcomed Brittyn Isla into the world last Sunday. Then we went to the Library and Culver's for lunch before heading home for nap.

William is starting to be afraid of more things... Air hand dryers, worms, bugs in the house, and noisy carts at the library.

Yesterday we sat on the porch watching the rain and we tried to take a walk with our rain gear on, but the worms on the ground were just to much to handle and I couldn't handle carrying him down the sidewalk so we settled on looking for froggies in the grass. Adam found one on our deck the other week, but our search in the rain turned up no froggies :(

Okay I think that is enough randomness for now, have a great weekend, stay dry!
