At the park

Today we went to the park for the first time in a while and re-discovered some favorites.

Throwing Leaves

The Green Tube

Joseph also discovered the drinking fountain for the first time, and I have a feeling he's going to frequent it every time we visit. A bunch of older elementary school kids were all getting drinks, and one little boy was really kind and wanted to make sure that Joseph had the chance to get a drink as well.

Another highlight for Joseph was finding a friendly dog to chase after. Joseph loves to bark at dogs, and he'd shriek and laugh every time this energetic little dog would run by. He tried to follow the dog home, but Joseph's little legs couldn't quite keep up.

We also took on the slide like a big boy:


I love this video because he is beaming the entire time. (Unfortunately, the video quality always takes a hit whenever we upload videos, so you can't see his face very well.)

Joseph kept wanting to go down the slide again and again, and each time he'd get this great grin on his face as he started to slide, and it wouldn't go away.

If you hit "Play Again" on the video a couple of dozen times, you can get a better idea of what it's like to go the park with Joseph.

I'll definitely be taking him to the park when you guys come...although, the snow and cold might keep him from smiling...SO CUTE!!
