Playtime

To get out of the house for a little bit, I took Connor to Kidsports for a few hours Sunday afternoon.  We both needed a change of scenery, and this is right down the street, so it was perfect.  Luckily, it wasn't that crowded. I tend to worry when there are bigger kids at these places because they don't always pay attention to the little ones and knock them down.  Yesterday, though, it seemed that most of the kids there were between 1-6, so all was well in the world of indoor playgrounds.

Connor tried out the bouncy house, which he normally stays away from, but he gave it a whirl.  He didn't seem overly enthused about it.  He had more fun playing in the cozy coupes and the toddler area.  I did manage to get a bit of it on video, though, so check it out!

After about an hour there, Connor finally discovered the big kid slide.  He has to climb up on platforms to get to the slide, and he was just tall enough to make the climb up.  The entire slide is covered in netting, so I didn't have to worry about him falling over the edge.  Once he was on the slide, it took him a couple minutes to work up the nerve to slide down.  He saw one kid go down on his belly, so Connor did the same thing.  Once he went, he loved it and kept going back for more.

Later that day, while Mom was making dinner, Connor was playing with his trains and I saw him put on the conductor's hat he has.  He doesn't ever wear it, so I quickly grabbed my camera and got a few shots.  He wasn't pleased, because he says the flash "hurts eyes".  Sorry, kid... you better get used to it!  :)

We hope everyone stays warm and has plenty of shovels to dig us out of these next two storms coming up.  We cannot WAIT until spring!
