Yesterday I picked up es and headed to our house. We stopped and played at the park, where es jumped off the bottom step of the stairs up to the play structure. She was so excited and pleased with her new skill, probably the result of her tumbling class. The drop was maybe a foot, and she usually fell on her knees or bottom, but she always brushed off her hands, smiled and ran around to the other end of the structure to climb up and do it again. When the preschool children came to the playground es joined in, waving at some of them and continuing her climbing and jumping. We had planned to visit the library, but it was closed for a staff development workshop.
A couple of weeks ago after we visited the park and library we walked on over to Safeway to buy some chocolate chip cookies. She noticed some tables outside the Subway shop and wanted to sit down, but I said no since we hadn't bought anything there. So this time we went in the shop and bought a turkey sandwich, barbecue chips, a cookie and milk. We took our lunch outside and sat at one of the tables to eat in spite of the gusty cool wind. What fun! Naturally es ate very little turkey but enjoyed the chips and cookie and milk. Grandma spoiled her a bit.
At our house we read and built with Tinker Toys. I brought out the child-size broom Randy had uncovered in the garage, and she helped him sweep the deck. Although she was in bed for 40 minutes or so, she showed no signs of going to sleep, so I took her home about 4:15 so I'd have time to make an early supper before Randy had to go to choir.
