Izzy at the Playground

In an effort to get out into the fresh air today, we walked over to the park with Izzy. At times, she walked. At times, she was carried. At times, she was picked up quickly as she tried to venture off the sidewalk. But eventually, we made it to the park. When we got there, it was empty, and Izzy didn't really know what to do. Usually, when she is at the park, it is for playgroup, so there are lots of other kids around. She didn't know what to do with all the space.

Today was her first time solo on the slide, and she even did it from the top. Only once did her feet get stuck so that she flipped over her legs and slid down on her knees until she hit the bend and flipped over on to her stomach and slid down backwards (feet first). She wasn't nearly as freaked out as I was.


She also noticed the dog nearby playing fetch, and once she saw him, it was over. She ran over there (I do mean RAN) and when we finally got up the courage to ask if she could say hi, all she wanted to do was get about 6 inches away and look at him. But at least she tried.


Here she is again going to see the dog.


And this is on the way home. By the end of the excursion, the park had filled up, so we took that as a sign to make our departure.


Again, the password is Izzy. In this one, she is trying to jump. She was watching Chris jump, and then tried to do it herself. Her feet never actually leave the ground, but there is definite intention.

And here, the password is Izzy again, but it should be Chris, because this 4 second gem shows who really had the most fun at the park. All I can say is "Flip-a-ROO!!!"
