Eleanora is all about parks. Bryant Square near us has music Tues/Thurs during the summer plus a wading pool, so Eleanora was in heaven:
(clapping)
These ones are from today, at another park with the Ketchum's,
So her love affair with parks continues while I have a list of criteria that make a park somewhere I'd like to be (I guess I'm a park snob, who knew?) - some are clearly intended for older kids and it makes me nervous b/c Eleanora has some daredevil tendencies, some have 7 big kid swings and one broken baby swing, some have metal slides that in the sun become 160 degrees and Eleanora yells "hot! hot!", etc. Also, we were recently at a park and I watched as a little boy began crying at the top of the slide, pulled his pants off and had poop all over himself/the slide/his hands/I don't even wanna know where else. He cried for like 3 minutes before his dad saw and came and brought him to the bathroom. This was my cue to whisk Eleanora away before she found herself playing in his poop. Gross.
So we've gone to a ton of parks so far on a quest to find a few I am a fan of, and we've got a couple I actually enjoy.
By the way, her newest saying is "I'll be back". She was playing with her Little People in the living room with me tonight, and remembered she wanted something from her room, she turned to run to get it, turned around, waved her hand in the air and said "I'll be back!"
