Chloe and I are taking a break from Studio Sprout to explore other things around town. Week 1 was a big success. We stopped by Emily’s Bakery to get some bread for the week…and, of course, Chloe wanted some chocolate loaf. Since it was Date Day with Chloe, I obliged!
Afterwards, we went to Neary Lagoon. She enthusiastically hopped on the balance bike, but also did a fair amount of running free.
This picture was taken just as we got to the first sight of ducks! She is demonstrating the “airplane arms” the ducks use to fly around.
It was so awesome to see her enthusiasm for being here. I am reminded of just how wonderful it is to have little people around–they see the world through fresh eyes; what I thought might be boring was sheer fun!
I knew she’d love the walkway that goes right over the water. We were so close to the ducks.
I was surprised we made it around the lagoon without me carrying her (except for when she fell on the path and needed some lovin’)! She is a phenomenal little athlete! She said she didn’t think she was going to make it across this wooden border without falling, but she proved herself wrong! The only downside to this day was having to drop her off at school. She knew it was going to end when we got to the car, so she asked to have her snack at the picnic table there and told me she wanted to ride her bike more. 🙁 She was unhappy on the way to school, but once she got there, she happily joined Yesenia’s circle where they were singing, “Buenos dias, buenos dias, como estas…”.
I can’t help but look forward to next week.
