This afternoon we decided to try another one of the priceless playgrounds. This time we went to Mount Pleasant Village Park. It is in the far west part of the city. The community is cute, it looks like the city planners were trying to create a quaint small town feel in the area of the city. At the centre of it all was a large reflecting pool with fountains and next to it was a playground and a grassy field. The playground did not have swings and a slide like all the others, instead it has climbing apparatus which the kids seemed to enjoy. I taught the Girl how to hang from the monkey bars and flip her legs over her head. At first she was adamant that she wouldn't be able to do it, but with a little practice she managed to flip over.
Tonight the Baby climbed the stairs on his own. It doesn't take long to learn these skills. I know soon he'll be running around and up and down the stairs. Although I am excited by each new skill he learns, I am sad because I know he is my last baby and we will never have these 'firsts' again.
