Sniff, sniff. He's big enough to climb up and slide down ALL BY HIMSELF. And he's so proud of himself for his accomplishment. I took him to the playground just to see if it was still wet and yucky from yesterday's all day rain. The sand was wet, which must have only 
served to enhance the taste of it, because from the time he got his hands in it, he kept trying to eat it. The playground equipment wasn't too wet, though, and he got to try out the baby swing. Someone had stolen the baby swings from our park earlier this year so we hadn't been in a while, but there they were, nice new ones. And, we were VERY pleased to discover a brand new playground being constructed with money from a federal grant from the Soil and Water Conservation people. There was a sign from the National Park Service proclaiming the new park was on land specifically reserved for recreation and naming the area the Gateway to Adventure. 
It's all brand new playground equipment over heavily mulched areas, and I can't wait until they finish it, which looks to be soon. It's SO big and nice, and there are play structures there that I've never seen in other playgrounds. What a fortunate little guy he is to be coming of age to play on a playground just as a wonderful one is being finished!

What a fortunate little guy he is to be coming of age to play on a playground just as a wonderful one is being finished!I can't believe he climbed up all by himself. There was a little girl at the playground just a couple of weeks older than him, and her folks had just taught her how to climb up and seat herself on the slide, and seeing her was all the 
encouragement Dennis needed. He climbed right up and seated himself on the slide and slid right down to me with one of the biggest smiles I've seen on him. I'm so proud. It was so cute that we had to back to the park after meeting his Daddy for supper so that we could show him the new skill. When we went back, we had the whole playground to ourselves, so Dennis got to play on all the play structures. He tried out every slide, and we think he liked the tube one the best. He ran all over the place, and I'm looking forward to all the good sleep he's going to do tonight. I'm worn out, too, from running back and forth from the steps (where I stood behind him to make sure he didn't fall backward) to the bottom of the slide so I could catch him when he came down. What fun! Tomorrow is a Birmingham day, and I can't wait to take him to a playground there on our way home!
