Okay so Thomas is getting more independent, more mobile, and he is also getting his wits about him. So why not hit the outdoors a bit more often, meet the neighborhood kids, and just enjoy the cooler weather. It is good to get around his peers you know, adults can be soooo boring to a kid I have heard.
We are taking him out in the afternoon to play in the yard with balls(his favorite) and his new trike. I admit it is a bit advanced for him but it keeps him occupied and the neighborhood kids , who do fit on it, well they love it. And you know how he is about anything with wheels...
He likes to be around the kids, is really good about sharing and right now is just observing how they interact. Gotta keep an eye on him of course, he is only 17 months and on a whim could take off down the sidewalk. Here he is checking out a lineup of toys while the girls borrow his trike again...
It is good for an afternoon activity right before dinner/bath/then bed time since the kids are out of school and parents are getting home too. One day I came home from the store and let Thomas play while I unloaded(Grandma was here) and before I knew it there were four moms, easily a dozen kids and two dads in the street in front of our house passing footballs, riding bikes and trikes and big wheels, collecting acorns (for school?), tossing toys and even playing on a portable slide. C'est la Vie! It was a good time and we enjoy our neighbors.
I know my A B C 's from going to the park!
