How to spot new parents at the park....

we are the two people, standing in front of the one swing, smiling huge at the baby who is scowling at us as she goes back and forth...

we are the two people jumping up and down in unison as their baby swings back and then rushing in to "zoom" in her face as she swings forward...

we are the dad taking the serious baby down the slide, with the mom standing at the bottom, waving her arms trying to get the baby excited...

And finally, we are the two people eventually pushing the somber (and near tears)baby away in the jogging stroller, hoping she'll enjoy it a bit more when she's older.

I can tell she is thrilled at what ever she is doing. It really is all about what we parents think will be fun for our little ones. Love You, Grandma

She will! Just when you think she'll never like the park, it will probably be her favorite thing. :-) Kids are funny that way...

And how much fun would life be if everything was exactly like you were hoping and expecting?....

You are so funny! She will soooo love these excursions in a couple of years! I love the facial expression in the pic!

I have a pic of my oldest daughter in a swing like that at about the same age with exactly the same expression. LOL! Just wait, in another year or so you won't be able to drag her away from the swings and slide. Cute post!

Chris said...
