Independence

In the big tunnel

I'm ready for the big slide!

I am not the most coordinated kid on the playground. To avoid falls, a typical playground experience for me includes lots of watching other kids, some climbing up very slight ramps, short slides, etc (all with Mommy underneath, practically forming a safety net with her arms)... but today I climbed through a looooong tunnel to get to the big slide! Mommy is working hard to help me gain independence, which is difficult since she would love nothing other than having her baby forever. She is letting me do more and more on my own because it is what's best for me.
