John In Action at the Park

The last couple of weeks, I have been posting about John's exploits at the park, but most of the stories were related to me by Maureen. I had the distinct pleasure and privilege to see John in action on the slide and the swings. Mind you, I'm not one who likes the park. I don't like the sand. It gets all over the place. Maureen enjoys her trips to the park with John, so I suppose I can go once in a while to see the glee on my boy's face.

On a typical day, JD and his mother will walk to the park. He likes to look around at all the cars and things that go by on the street. He's quite observant in that way. He just sits up in the stroller and keeps his head on a swivel. Today, we drove because I couldn't find an empty parking space in our complex and I didn't want to go park in my spot in the structure.

Aside from that, it was quite a lazy Saturday. John was kind enough to entertain himself until about 6:30 AM this morning. He was a good boy at the Farmer's Market and Ralph's at 8 AM. He took his nap like a trouper from 9:30 AM to 11:15 AM. We took him to Babies/Toys R Us and picked up a belated birthday present (thanks Mr. Pistey). He loves his bead chaser. He fell in love with it at the Wiseman residence several months back, but he really loves it now that he has his own!!

As if that weren't enough of a great day, he's been so good this evening whilst Maureen is over at Fiddler's Bistro for her brother's surprise birthday dinner. He was great in the tub. He didn't whine when I washed his hair. He was very cooperative when I had to change his diaper. And, he only cried for 2-minutes when I put him down to sleep.

He's really such a good little boy.

Like Maureen says, "Who needs Disneyland? We have the park!!"
