On Monday, Ren slept in extra late so I decided he could skip his morning nap and we would have a Special Day. So after we got home from the Y, we walked to the park. We LOVE having a park within walking distance of our house. Sutton rode his bike while I pushed Ren and drank coffee. :)
It was a beautiful morning, and the perfect temp! I'm so glad Sutton can swing on his own now and doesn't need me to push him all the time. :)
Ren loves the park and just wanders around the whole time, trying equipment that he's too little for, collecting sticks, and pointing at things.
Another new-found skill that Sutton has is the monkey bars! It's still a challenge for him and he doesn't make it across every time but he's getting better.
Ren is always so busy and stays happy without any attention. I caught him digging holes in the sand. This will be my image for tomorrow's I Carry Your Heart.
We've taken photos in this tunnel several times throughout the boys' lives so I wanted to snap another here. Sutton is such a big brother...trying to get Ren to look at me. :)
They were at the top of the playground together and I told Sutton it was okay, so he picked Ren up around the waist, carried him over to the top of this slide, and went down with him.
I thought Ren looked so big in this picture. He has some handfuls of sticks that he was bringing over to poke me in the legs with.
This baby loves coffee or coffee cups, or the combo...I don't know. If I'm drinking out of a cup with a lid, I generally give him the cup when I'm done and he flips out. He's so happy. He tries drinking the last few drops, and he just carries the cup around. He would NOT let go of it for anything this day, and played on the playground a good 15 minutes without setting it down.
Sutton trying in vain again to get him to look at me for a picture.
When we left, I took the cup away to strap him in his stroller and he got so mad. I gave it back after he was buckled and he held it the whole way home.
On the walk home, we happened to bump into our friend GINGER who moved to Atlanta! It was an amazing coincidence. I was walking down the street when someone from a car behind me whistles. She just happened to be driving there right as we were walking and we were so excited to see her. See? Wichita CAN be a small town.
To continue our Special Day, I let Sutton eat his lunch picnic-style on the floor in front of the TV before school. He keeps asking me when we can have a Special Day again.
