Today I braved taking the kids to the park, granted I knew I was meeting friends there that could and would help if things got out of hand. But we made it. The kids ran rampant, got all sweaty, and did a lot of sliding. There were a few times Juniper tried to make a beeline for the street but a loud "uh uh uh" from me or my friends stopped him. You could actually see him trying to figure out in his mind if it was worth disobeying four women vs. just one mom. Three out of the four times he turned around and went back to the play area.
The fourth time he was running past the sand volleyball quart toward the busier street and an oncoming monster lawnmower. We called for him to stop and this time he thought about it and then kept running. Thanks to a lighter body and being prepared with running shoes I caught up to him long before the super park lawn mowing machine got near. "Poor" little guy was stuck sitting with mommy until it was time to go.
Well practice makes perfect and today showed that we're a little closer with our practice. Thursday we're going to brave taking the kids to the new aquarium with a bunch of other special needs families. We'll see how they brave that one.
