Since it has been so hot and muggy outside the past couple of days we decided to take Grant to the mall playground and let him play out some energy. This was only the second time that we had done this. The first time he really enjoyed it! We also thought this might help him to practice his walking skills. He still has yet to take his first steps by himself but is doing really well walking if you hold his hands. When we got there he was hesitant and did not want to leave mommy's side but he watched all the other kids very closely. Eventually he crawled away from me to play on the slide.....but always kept one eye on me.
He crawled up the slide then turned around and slid down all by himself! I was so impressed at how brave he was. It made me realize even more that he is not a baby anymore and turning into my little boy.
Once he realized he could do it, all he wanted to do is crawl up and slide down. He must have done it ten times! :) After that he moved onto the play things on the walls. He stood there for a long time and played.
By the end of the playtime Grant was completely comfortable playing around all the other kids. I'm sure that this mall playtime will become a common theme this summer.
