A Lark in the Park

Maisie and I took a little walk to the neighborhood park after dinner today. She gets so excited whenever we go for a walk. She was singing the Dora the Explorer song, "Where are we going? *clap, clap, clap* To the park!"

We had to stop for a little yoga break. She's been doing this pose off and on for over a year, I think. She never gets tired of seeing the world upside-down. Come to think of it, when I was little, I used to hang upside-down from the couch and imagine what it would be like if I could walk on the ceiling. I think Lionel Richie may have had something to do with that.

Later, Maisie saw a little bird walking in the grass and she said, "chicken!" It wasn't a chicken.

Isn't she the sweetest little poser? She likes to
climb up these little rungs so much, that she almost never gets off at the top. She forgets about the slide and just climbs back down so she can climb back up.

Maisie got into a scuffle with a boy who was also playing at the park. Unfortunately, she was the instigator. She tried to push him out of the way and he pushed back. I had to break up the fight before it came to blows. She doesn't know how to share very well yet.

Maisie loves to slide so much that I've been thinking about getting one of those little plastic slides for inside. There is one at the church building that she goes bananas over every Sunday. But for some reason they don't keep it in the nursery, they keep it under the coat rack. So she can never really play with it. I think if they put it in the nursery, she might stay in there without screaming once in a while. That's how much she loves to slide.

On the way home, she had to hug every tree she saw. There were a LOT of trees. She loves nature so much.
