Morning at the Cerritos Park

The ducks haven’t been swarming for the bread we feed them as of late.

DSC04312

So we took a break from the ducks and went to the playground instead.

DSC04314

Slide was wet so Daddie and Aiden put sand on the slide to dry it.

DSC04319

Aiden loved that part!

DSC04321

Aiden hasn’t needed our help to go up the stairs.

DSC04322

It’s a bit steep so this is the first time he’s gone up without looking clumsy.

DSC04325

He saw some kids going up a different route and wanted to follow.

DSC04327

Of course he’s not ready for that challenge.

DSC04329

But we did hold him and let him slowly climb up.

DSC04330

Time for a change of scenery.

DSC04331

Swings!

DSC04353

He was willing to go higher than usual.

DSC04354

But he didn’t really want to go on the baby swings.

DSC04366

Big boy swings for him now!

DSC04369

I was trying to teach him to put his legs forward when the swing moves forward.

DSC04372

and bring his feet back when the swings moves back.

DSC04373

He doesn’t fully get it just yet.

DSC04385

And then he wants down – and was in such a rush he did not tell us he was going down.

DSC04386

He fell, but didn’t get hurt.

DSC04387

Time to play with some sand.

DSC04388

There was another boy sitting opposite of him.

DSC04390

So Aiden was pointing at him.

DSC04394

Now he’s trying to copy him.

DSC04405

The park definitely tired him out.

DSC04406

When we got home he didn’t put up a fight to take a nap.

DSC04408

But he was missing his duck routine.

DSC04411

Aiden looks so tall in this picture, but he’s still on the short side.

DSC04413

Waiting for his next growth spurt.

DSC04418

In the meantime, he was finally able to use the index and middle finger to put up the number 2.

DSC04423

He used his right hand to help him put the other fingers down to form the “V.”

DSC04426

He was so proud of himself and of course we felt the same way of him.
