Family fun

This morning was low-key. Sierra and I took the dogs for a walk while Jason finished up some work he had to do. Lunch was early because someone was out of bed running around by 6:10 this morning and she was getting sleepy. And then ... family nap!!

Post-nap, it was just way too nice of a day to stay inside, but we weren't in an adventuring mood, so we headed up to the playground on campus. It was take-off-your-coat weather, and Sierra tried to take off her shoes, but we told her that wasn't such a great idea on the playground. No worries, she was easily distracted by the swings! Our little daredevil loves to be pushed higher and higher on the swing, giggling the whole time.

Sadly, the playground isn't built for toddlers to climb up it. There is a ladder, but no platform to get to the top of slide. It's too bad because I'm certain Sierra would have no problem getting herself there. She's not quite ready for a ladder, though, and has to be lifted up to the top. Once she's there, though, she's through the tunnel and down the slide, all by herself, landing with a bump and yelling "Up! Up!" to go again!




There was plenty of running and jumping and climbing, and I hope all that activity will translate to a great night's sleep, though one just never knows with this child, so I will have to keep you posted on that one!



Across the road from the playground is where the cows live. Sierra had been hearing them "moo" and yelling "MOOOO!" back at them. Before we headed home we had to go over and say "Hi Cows! Hi baby cows! Hi big cows!" Well, Sierra said that. Jason and I just watched.



Now, Sierra is sleeping (soundly, I hope, and long), Jason is in Charlottesville at a hockey game and I am up entirely too late. Again. Good-night!
