Here are a few sweet pictures from this past weekend’s fun–bday party for Hailey. Cameron just climbed right on into that tire swing and held on. She has such good coordination, balance and strength, I don’t worry about her on the playground in the same way that I did with Dylan. I’m pretty sure that, at this stage (she’s 19 months), I would have still felt like Dylan might let go and fall right off! She was just fine!
After exhibiting some reluctance to go down the slide by herself, she discovered her courage…
She even went down the big slide all by herself. More amazing, I felt comfortable watching her climb up and slide down all by herself!
Here’s Dylan participating in the pinata part. At first he held back and told me he didn’t think the stuff inside was vegan, but I didn’t want him to feel sad about it so I told him he should go on along and we’d trade the non-vegan stuff for vegan goodies. Turns out he was able to scan the goodies fast enough to determine and target the treats that were vegan. He is really an amazing kid. As usual, I was impressed by his lack of interest in getting tons of stuff. He picked up a couple of rolls of Smarties and only a few plastic trinkets; he even picked stuff up for Cameron!
Dylan had a blast. At first, he was worried he wouldn’t know anyone there (aside from Hailey), but he was super stoked to see a bunch of school pals, including Nate and Cleo. Fun was had!
