Saturday Wyatt begged to go to the Castle park pretty much all day. We have always been inclined to give him what he wants when he speaks to try to motivate him to speak more but especially so when he is so persistent.
Cory always plays so well with the kids at the park. Once he was having so much fun playing tag that Wyatt ended up in the lake up to his waist before a lady asked Cory if that was his kid. I still remember our first time out in the greenbelt by my parents house when we were dating. I was able to sit and relax while Cory played and wrestled with the kids, it was so great and one of the reasons that I fell for him.

Wyatt found a friend that went to his school last year and he played well with him which doesn't always happen. Getting Wyatt to play let alone play well with friends is a task but with a little encouraging he seemed to enjoy hanging with his buddy this time.

Darion is such a little boy. We are lucky that he didn't try his new peeing in the bushes trick at the park. He has decided now that he knows the major advantage to being a boy that instead of using the toilette he may as well go outside and use a bush. We are now working on encouraging him to use the potty unless he has to figure something else out in an emergency. We have yet to convince Wyatt in emergency situations that a bush or on the side of the freeway is an acceptable place to go. He says "that is not a toilette" and we can't argue with that to much.

Alyssa had fun playing tag with some kids. She learned the hard way that boys are just faster than girls. We had to help her understand that if she was going to win she would have learn to outsmart the boy and learn to try to loose him in the play equipment wrather than stay out in the open where he could catch her. She and this boy went back and forth for so long that she had to hide in the equipment for a while to catch her breath.

This was Audelias first day at the park and she slept the whole time. The weather was so nice and there is not much threat outside of catching the icky stuff that is going around so the park is a great way for us to get out with a little baby.
