PlayWorks

This morning we took Dylan to a playground near us called PlayWorks. In the same area, there is a skate park called SkateWorks. Somehow I don't think it will be too many years before we are across the parking lot watching Dylan ride his skateboard up and down half-pipes.

The playground is a neat place, with lots of little Dylan sized crawl spaces, bridges, etc. Dylan ran around for almost an hour!

Dylan has never really enjoyed swings. As time has passed, he's learned how to ride in a way he enjoys.

In this picture, Dylan is saying "All Done, All Done!!"

After the playground we came home and played outside for a bit. Dylan rode his four-wheeler around the yard, wrote on the driveway with some chalk, watered the flowers, and golfed a little bit. Then we came inside for a morning snack. While he was finishing his snack Dylan read his Sesame Street magazine. It appears to be a very interesting issue this month.

Now he's having his afternoon nap, and let's hope it's a long one. He was up at 6:30 today, which is later than my typical week-day wake-up, but on weekends I like to sleep until 7. Why is it that we have to wake him up at 7:20 on weekdays, but on weekends he's up at 6:30?! Maybe it's because all of the other kids at daycare wear him out. I'm looking forward to our next child being worn out by Dylan!

This weekend I started the process of dismantling my craft room. It will soon be the baby's room. Until the basement is finished, my new space will be in the office. Not sure how it will all fit, but we'll make it work.

Speaking of the new baby, he/she has been quite active over the past week. I've been feeling flutters for a few weeks, almost immediately followed by digestive gurgles,which led me to wonder if they were really flutters at all. In the last four or five days they have become definite, albeit gentle, jabs, rolls or kicks. My ultrasound is scheduled for Monday, September 17th. We'll find out then if it is a boy or girl.
